After the death of my previous jam (RIP sweet tip raspberry) we purchased a new jar. This time, we went for a reliable strawberry flavoured conserve by Bonne Maman. This brand was recommended by Grace and what a good recommendation it was. A thick and easy spread and it tasted ace. A worthy replacement for the Wilkin and Sons we all love.As you can imagine, this was very much like a good old English cream tea, but with wholemeal seeded bread instead of the buttery scone. And in a way, it is better. The buttery taste was still in attendance as we buttered the toast first and wholemeal bread has more wholesome flavours than the scone. The only difference was that we used whipped cream, not clotted cream. Despite this, the slice was fantastic.
Squirting the whipped cream itself was, for inexperienced whipped creamers such as ourselves, a much harder task than you would imagine. Grace was so disappointed with hers that she just smoothed it all over and, well, there's my attempt. Not how I envisaged.
Oh and it leaves you with a white moustache after each bite and white moustaches are funny.
