Eton mess is a classic British dessert, dating back to the late 1800s. Fresh fruit, crunchy meringue with a chewy centre and whipped cream come together to create a Summer fine dining staple.
Today, our Baxters Innovation Chef and Culinary Lead, Darren Sivewright, has put a Scottish twist on the traditional dessert, using juicy ripe plums and our Limited Edition Damson & Sloe Gin Conserve, handcrafted with care in Fochabers by Baxters.
Ingredients:
- 1 jar of Baxters Limited Edition Damson & Sloe Gin Conserve
- 4 ripe plums
- 500ml of double cream
- 50g of icing sugar
- 4 meringue nests
- 50g of toasted flaked almonds
How to Make:
- First, stone and quarter the plums.
- Then, crush the meringues roughly taking care not to crush too finely.
- Thirdly, 3/4 whip the double cream and icing sugar and proceed to fold in the plums, 1/2 to 3/4 of the Baxters Limited Edition Damson & Sloe Gin Conserve and meringue.
- Finally, spoon into glasses to serve and finish with a sprinkle of toasted almonds.
Enjoy your damson and sloe gin conserve Eton mess!
