METHOD
To make the consommé, wash all the berries and place them in a clean bowl with the icing sugar and mix gently. Put the bowl in a water bath (Bain Marie) and cook gently for 2 hours, do not stir the berries. When ready gently pour the berries and juice into a muslin and strain. Chill until needed.
