About

Clarendon is the parish where I grew up and this is one of my favourite recipes. You can use it in so many ways. You can drink it like a smoothie or serve it as a sauce – it’s great with the Caramel-Lime Chicken and other brown-down dishes.

Put all the ingredients, except the nuts, into a blender and whizz until completely smooth. Chill the mixture in the fridge, covered, until needed.
Sprinkle the cashew nuts on top and, if using as a drink, serve over ice.
