Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 lemon grass stalks, finely chopped
  • 225g sugar
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 300g blackberries
  • 300g raspberries
  • 300g strawberries, halved and quartered
  • Organic natural yoghurt

To Cook

Put the lemongrass into a saucepan with the sugar and 1/2 litre of water, stir until the sugar dissolves, then bring to the boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes.  Cool, cover and chill overnight for the flavours to infuse.  Strain the syrup and add the lime juice and half the lime zest.

Serving Suggestions

Divide the fruit between 4 bowls, pour over some syrup and scatter the remaining lime zest.  Any leftover syrup will hold in the fridge for up to three weeks.  Serve with a bowl of natural yoghurt.
