Blackberry Fool

As you can see from the picture, berries and cream are a jumble, hard to get a clear shot of a fool.. For all of you non bakers, this is the dessert you can be known for.  The combination of seedless jams and fresh fruits are endless.  I understand the original recipe used Gooseberries, which if you have never tried,  resemble the taste and texture of Kiwi.  Putting this on top of a warm waffle would make the best weekend breakfast ever. If you fold crushed meringue  in, you would have Eton Mess – named after the exclusive school in England, brought to the attention of the world with England’s  biggest wedding this past year.
