About

I think blackcurrants are sublime summer fruit and particularly good when tasting cold and sharp against crumbly pastry.

Method

Cook the blackcurrants with the fructose syrup. Simmer for a few minutes until just soft. Pour in the cassis and leave to marinate for several hours. Drain off any excess liquid and either drink it or mix it with whipped cream to make a syllabub. Fill the pastry case with the blackcurrants. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
