Method

  1. To make the compote: place the caster sugar and 300ml (1/2pt) water in a large pan. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then add the frozen fruit. Simmer for 5-10 mins.
  2. Blend the arrowroot with 30ml (2tbsp) water and stir into the fruit. Simmer gently, stirring for 3-4 mins, until the fruit mixture thickens slightly. Leave to cool.
  3. To make the syllabub: mix the sugar, wine/sherry and lemon juice in a jug and leave for 10 mins. Pour the cream into a bowl and whisk until softly peaking. Gradually whisk in the lemon and wine mixture.
  4. Divide the compote between 4 serving glasses and top with the syllabub. Crumble a biscuit and sprinkle over the syllabubs. Serve with the rest of the biscuits.
