About

This is the perfect dessert for a summer’s evening and works best with fruit that is soft and oozing with sweetness. The cucumber might seem a strange addition, but it gives the same result as it does in a jug of Pimms: a watery, savoury note that gives depth of flavour.

Method

Preparation

Two days before serving, hull the strawberries and pick over the berries and currants. Set aside a few of the select and visually appealing fruits to serve at the end. Dice the watermelon, discarding the skin and seeds. Peel, deseed and chop the cucumber.

Place the fruits and cucumber in a bowl with the sugar and 2 sprigs of mint. Cover and leave in the fridge over
