Berries with rose geranium sugar

• portions: 4 servings

Ingrédients

2tbsp geranium sugar see below

250g blackberries

200g raspberries

a little Lemon juice

Pouring cream to serve

250g caster sugar

6 rose geranium leaves

Instructions

First, make the geranium sugar. Put the sugar in a clean jam jar. Wipe the leaves, then tuck them into the sugar, cover and keep in a warm place for 24 hours. From time to time, give the jar a shake. To check whether the sugar is ready, lift the lid; if you can smell roses, it is ready. Remove and discard the leaves – they have done their work.

Put the berries in a china or glass mixing bowl. Sprinkle them first with a little lemon juice (a tablespoon will do), then shake the sugar over them. Leave them in a cool place for 30 minutes. Serve with a jug of cream.
