And while I'm at it, I found a recipe while looking for something to do with the blackberries I put into the freezer last summer.
If you need blackberries to do it, come over in late August / early September. Last year we had tons of them.
Quote: The Blackberry Fool
500 g deep frozen Blackberries
200 ml cream
300 g curd
50 g sugar
250 g Amarettini cookies
thaw up the Blackberries, but not fully. Then mash them.
beat up the cream with the sugar
then stir the whipped cream slowly and carefully with the curd.
crumble the cookies
then take some dessert glasses, fill in the blackberries, the curd-cream and the cookie crumbs in layers.
Oh, and Alandriel, why do you think it's hard to peel chestnuts?
Usually I take a knife, make a X into the peel and then lift of the hard peel with the knife. As I do this with 5 kilos of Maroni every december (we use them for the filling of the christmas goose and other geese), I'm quite fast in doing it.
