SC - Roedd Groedd

[Devra at aol.com]

His Immensity, Baron Sallamallah the Corpulent, formerly baron of the Canton
of Fennbrycg, has graciously given me his receipt for this dish.  He informs
me that it was derived from a "better" version given to him by Lady Arwen
Evain ferch Rhys ap Gwyneth. (I hope that I have spelt the lady's name
correctly.)

The original recipe called for some quantity of raspberry liquor, but since
many of the halls Fennbrycg used were so dessicated as to make a desert appear
lush, the alcohol was dropped.

This version, taken from the Canton of Fennbrycg's Feast of Simple Fare
Autocrat's Manual, serves approximately 180.  I am going to try dividing it by
18, and will report further on this.

Ingredients

18 packages (1 lb each) frozen sweetened strawberries
18 packages (12 oz each) frozen sweetened raspberries
  9 pints heavy cream
18 lbs sour cream
  9 pints whipping cream
  1 gallon milk

Berries should be thawed but cold.  Mash the strawberries and raspberries.

Stir sour cream until smooth.  Add the heavy cream and whipping cream; mix
well.

Pour it over berry puree, stir, and thin as needed with milk.


NOTES:  I don't know where I'd get whipping cream as opposed to heavy cream; 
   perhaps I'd just use heavy for all.

               The only sugar in this is included on the sweetened fruit by
the packager; you might like to add just a tiny bit.

               Any suggestions about when and how much liquor to use?

This is very rich and very delicious.
