Long holiday weekend here at Struan Farm, for Auckland Anniversary. I'd seen a recipe for "Favourite Summer Berry Slice" in the NZ Herald not too long ago, and decided it would be fun to give it a try. Piopio Berry Orchard still has strawberries, blueberries and raspberries in season. I'm not sure how much longer that will be the case, so wanted to make the most of the "berry trifecta."
The slice turned out really well, this recipe's a keeper. Almond-y crust at the bottom, moist filling and great berry flavours. I served it with fresh berries and (just a tad) of whipped cream. Yogurt is also an option, although with sour cream in the filling I wasn't sure if that might be too sour. (Having tasted the slice now, it would be good too.)
Of course we needed amazing flowers for the table to accompany this dessert. The brilliant blue pops of cornflowers and "Ella's Nigella" look lovely with the pink and orange, don't they?
