Sweet things

Summer fruits don’t need fancy treatment.  They’re lovely in syrups flavoured with basil, lavender, star anise, ginger or lemon thyme.  Fit the flavouring to the fruit – basil is great with berries, lavender with stone fruits.


Method: 
  • Bring 600ml  white wine 225g granulated sugar, the juice of half a lemon, two strips lemon rind and the chosen flavouring to the boil.  
  • Cook until you have 250-300 ml liquid left then chill and strain.
