Put the raspberries, quartered strawberries and broken-up blackberries in a bowl with lemon zest, a little lemon juice and a little sugar; mix to macerate.
Berry fool: macerating the fruit
Cover and refrigerate at least an hour, until the berries slump in syrupy juice (room temperature is faster).
  • buttery shortbread cookies
Crumble the shortbread cookies.
Shortbread crumbs instead of wafers
  • 1 cup cold cream
  • creme fraiche
  • sugar
  • real vanilla extract
In a cold bowl, whisk the cold cream with the creme fraiche, sugar and vanilla to soft peaks with sharp lines; underwhipped it turns to soup, overwhipped it turns greasy.
Layer cookie crumbs, macerated fruit with its juice and whipped cream in glasses, repeating until full and finishing with crumbs and a few drips of juice.
