What to do with handfuls of summer fruits, including the tired strawberries which aren't perfect enough for the strawberries and cream but not of course actually mouldy:
Gently simmer fruit together with enough sugar to make a syrup and make it taste good.
Take 6 ramekins which you have collected from eating too many commercially produced cream puddings, and line bottom of each with fruit
Either fill with sweetened plain yoghurt or even better, fill up with high-class vanilla custard - we call it 'flan' over here. V. Good also with skinless orange segments, soft brown sugar and lemon custard. You can make your own custard, shop stuff has extra gelling agents for a more professional skinless surface, but can always sprinkle with raspberries or sugar.
500mls milk
one dessertspoon of sugar,
vanilla essence or finely grated lemon rind,
one heaped dessertspoon of cornflour
Mix cornflour with a little of the milk, add sugar to the rest and to the boil and whisk in, keep whisking until thickening (if doesn't look thick enough, mix more cornflour as above and whisk in). Pour into ramekins
