Rose Petal Cream with Strawberries

Greenway House, just a few miles upstream, is set in the midst of beautiful gardens full of old-fashioned roses. When they bloom in June and July their glorious scent fills the air. The roses we use to make this fragrant cream, and other rose petal confections, come from Greenway, by kind permission of Mrs Hicks.

This is the simplest of summery puddings, and one of the most pleasing, served with langues-de-chat or macaroon finger biscuits.
