Description

Summer on a plate!

Method

Wash, hull and quarter the strawberries. Put them in a small pot with the water and caster sugar, bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes until the strawberries just start to break down. Blitz quickly in a food processor, then pass though a fine sieve to remove the strawberry seeds.

Cut the lemon loaf into 8 slices. Heat the barbecue grill to high, then place loaf slices on the grill for 1 minute. Turn and cook for a further minute.

To serve, put 2 slices of grilled lemon loaf on each serving plate. Add the raspberries and blueberries and drizzle with strawberry sauce. Serve with a good dollop of mascarpone.
