| There's
something wonderfully Medieval about fools. Like many old dishes,
they're very simple, just cream and fruit. In the Middle Ages
it was thought that fresh fruit was bad for you, but pureed
fruit was okay. That's why most pre-17th century recipes for
pies involve stewing and pureeing the fruit first. This fool
ends up looking very pink and suspiciously like instant pudding,
but trust me - it tastes like summer in a glass! |
