The Queen of Hearts The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts
all on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts
and took them clean away.
The King of Hearts called for the tarts
and beat the Knave full sore
The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts
and vowed he'd steal no more.
The sun is beating
down. Can you
find your way to
the hat for some
protection?
Try some frozen grapes—stick them in the freezer in the
morning and they are ready by afternoon. Yum!
Make your own fruit juice popsicles and slushies. Yum yum!
3-d hanging paper hearts
Use the template below to draw
4 hearts. Colour them in
and then cut them out.
Fold them in half
Glue each half to an-
other until only one side is
left.
Place a piece of string down the
middle, then glue the final side.
Your heart is now ready to hang.
You can add a tassel if you wish.
Summer fruit ripple This creamy, light dessert looks great and tastes delicious! Although this recipe sug-gests fresh fruit, frozen fruit would be fine, but you must thaw it completely be-fore you begin. On a hot summer’s day, you can freeze the finished ripple for at least 4 hours, to make a super-cool treat.
Makes 4 servings
250g ripe strawberries
125g ripe raspberries
125g ripe blueberries
4 tbsp of fresh orange juice
275 ml natural yoghurt
275 ml double cream
2 tbsp of clear runny honey
2 tbsp of icing sugar (sieved)
1. Wash all the fruit and put a handful to one side. (they will be used to
decorate the finished dessert.) Hull the strawberries and cut them
into quarters.
2. Place the orange juice, icing sugar and half of the fruit into a proces-
sor. Put the lid on securely and blend to make a smooth puree.
3. Sieve the blended fruit into a mixing bowl to separate the seeds and
fruit pulp. Use a wooden spoon to press the liquid through.
4. Carefully stir the rest of the strawberries, blueberries and raspber-
ries into the fruit puree with a metal spoon (excluding the fruits set
aside in step 1.)
5. Lightly whip the cream in a large bowl. When it is ready, it will stand
up in soft peaks.
6. Fold the yoghurt, honey and half of the fruit mixture into the cream.
Layer the marbled cream mixture with the rest of the fruit mixture
in serving glasses.
