Black Currant Fool

Ingredients:
1 pint black currants
1 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons powdered sugar

To Prepare:
In a sauce pan, combine the currents with the sugar and water. Cook over medium high heat until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Let the mixture cool before continuing with the next step.

In a small bowl, beat together cream, sugar and vanilla until the cream thickens but remains a bit runny.

In pretty glasses, layer the mixture of currents with the cream. It also looks nice when the two are slightly mixed together.

Garnish with an edible flower, a sprig of mint or even lemon balm.
