Strawberry Ring image

This recipe comes from a Women's Institute cookbook I picked up at a National Trust gift shop. I haven't tried it yet, but plan on trying it soon. It sounds delish! Cook time is estimated chill time.

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces butter
2 ounces demerara sugar
4 ounces flour, sifted
2 ounces walnuts, chopped
1/2 ounce gelatin
4 tablespoons water
1 lb strawberry, hulled and thickly sliced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
6 ounces caster sugar
1/2 pint double cream, whipped
1/4 pint double cream, whipped
1 large strawberry, sliced

Steps:

  • Rub together the butter, demerara sugar, slour and walnuts as if making pastry. Scatter the mixture over the bottom of a shallow baking tin. Bake in a preheated moderately hot oven,(200*C/400*F)for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Cool, then crumble into a bowl.
  • Dissolve the gelatin in the water. Put one quarter of the strawberries into a saucepan with the lemon juice and sugar and mash well.
  • Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin. Strain a little of this mixture into a 2 1/2 pint ring mold, to coat the bottom. Chill until set. Let the remainder of the strawberry jelly cool but not set.
  • Fold the remaining strawberry slices into the whipped cream. When the jelly is on the point of setting, fold in the strawberries and cream.
  • Immediately make alternate layers of the strawberry mixture and crumbs in the ring mold, starting with strawberry and ending with crumbs. Chill until set.
  • Turn the ring out of the mold onto a serving platter. Pipe the whipped cream for the decoration around the base of the ring and add the strawberry slices.
