A member of the rose family, this soft and delicate red berry must be carefully hand-picked. British varieties are at their best in July and August. When choosing raspberries, avoid any with the hulls still attached, as this indicates they were picked before fully ripe and so are likely to be tart. finest* Berry Jewel and Supersweet raspberries are delicious on their own, or try Rosedene Farms raspberries in a coulis with ice cream. You could also use in place of strawberries for a twist on Eton mess.
Serves 4 Takes 25 mins, plus freezing Cost per serve £2·07
* * *
50g caster sugar 300g raspberries, plus handful to serve ½ lemon, juiced and zest pared 2 tbsp vodka 400ml prosecco
1 Put the sugar and 50ml water into a small pan over a gentle heat. Cook until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to the boil and simmer for 1 minute. Set aside to cool. 2 Purée the raspberries in a blender, then stir through the lemon juice. If you prefer a smoother sorbet, push the raspberries through a sieve to remove the seeds.
3 Mix the raspberry purée with the sugar water, then pour into a shallow freezer-proof container. Freeze for 2 hours, until the mixture has begun to set, then break up with a fork and freeze for a further hour. Break up again and whizz in a blender, then freeze for another hour. Alternatively, churn in an ice-cream maker until frozen, then transfer to a freezer-proof container. 4 In a bowl, whisk the vodka into 4 scoops of sorbet until you have a smooth consistency. Divide between 4 glasses, then top up with prosecco and garnish with whole raspberries and a twist of lemon zest to serve. Each serving contains Energy
