Recipe - Strawberry And Fresh Fig Brule

4 ounce Sound; ripe figs, cut or sliced up
4 ounce Strawberries; halved, or
whole,
; wild strawberries
1 Vanilla pod; split
lengthways
One fourth pt Double cream
One fourth pt CrŠme fraîche
4 Egg yolks; (size 4)
1 tablespoon Fructose; (fruit sugar)

1. Pile the fruit into and around the edges of 4 ramekin dishes. Place the
vanilla pod in a pan. Stir in the two creams and heat to just below boiling
point. Remove the pod.

2. Beat the egg yolks and fructose together in a pan then gradually beat in
the hot vanilla cream. Heat gently until the sauce has thickened. Pour the
custard over the fruit in the ramekins and set aside to cool. When cool,
chill for 23 hours until set.

3. Sprinkle the puddings with a little demerara and grill under a preheated
hot grill. The sugar should caramelize and, when allowed to cook, forms a
hard protective coating to the top of the custard cream. Serve cold.

NOTES : Nothing beats the flavour of succullent ripe figs After a
substantial main course, a light and fruity dessert is required. This
variation of an old standard is always popular, so it's probably best to
double the recipe and make 8
