Yesterday a group of 12 friends got together for the evening. The idea was to record the rugby (Crusaders vs Hurricanes) share a takeaway meal, Chinese or Thai, then watch the game, with dessert at half time followed by the second half. I was on dessert, and decided to make one of my favourites, with thanks to my lovely friend Tina for the recipe, Brown Sugar Meringues. They have a LOT of sugar, so I don’t make them often, and I like to add fruit of some kind, to counterbalance the sweetness.
I had a bag of free flow berries in the freezer, but wanted to jazz them up a bit, so added in some slices of fresh ginger, a cinnamon stick, some cardamon pods, pepper corns and star anise (no more sugar, the sugar police needed calming now) and simmered everything for a while to let the flavours infuse. Whipped cream with natural yogurt folded through to serve, the reviews were excellent!
The Hurricanes won. They were the better team on the night.
