1. In a bowl, sprinkle the Keelings strawberries with sugar and mix together. Leave to one side for 10 mins.

4. Add the Keelings strawberries to the chocolate milk along with the vanilla extract and salt – stir together.

Preheat oven to 180c fan and line a 23cm x 23cm x 5cm square tin with baking parchment.
Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter using your hands to form a crumbly mixture. Press 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, pressing down firmly.
Bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven. Spread the jam to within a ½ cm of the edge and scatter over the fresh raspberries. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top and bake for 35-40 minutes until lightly browned.
Once cooked, allow to cool before cutting into squares.
We make our ice cream from scratch for all of our lunches, weddings and events. We have a gelato machine in our kitchen specifically for this purpose. This one is a fragrant and delicious meadowsweet ice-cream using meadowsweet harvested from around the estate.
