BLACKBERRY & ELDERFLOWER FOOL
Simple & Sweet, for Two
We first shared this simple dessert back in Summer with our Jardin De La Lune scent story.
We thought to bring it back for Valentines day and though the fresh berries may not be as plentiful over the Winter, London Borough's Blackberry & Bayleaf jam is a perfect substitute.
