Gordon rustles up a fresh and fragrant Greek dessert in the F Word kitchen

Serves 4

Ingredients

600ml Greek yoghurt
100g blueberries
100g raspberries
Approx 1 dessert spoon caster sugar
Lavender essence, suitable for culinary use
Dried lavender flowers, suitable for culinary use

For the honeycomb: (makes 400g)

75g clear honey
140g liquid glucose
400g sugar
5 tbsp water
2 tbsp baking soda

Method: How to make Greek yoghurt with homemade honeycomb and mixed berry coulis

1. For the honeycomb: Line a shallow baking tray with parchment paper. Place the honey, liquid glucose, water and sugar in a large heavy-based saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and cook until the mixture starts to turn a light golden colour. Mix in the baking soda. The mixture will erupt into a foaming mass. Pour immediately into the prepared baking tray.

2. Leave to cool, then place in the fridge to set. This takes approx 6-10 mins. Break up with the end of a rolling pin and store in an airtight jar if not using immediately.

3. Using a blender, blitz the raspberries and blueberries together with little caster sugar until smooth. Add a drop of lavender essence. Strain the mixture through a sieve to create a fresh coulis. Taste to check consistency and flavour, add a spoonful of water or sugar as necessary.

4. Lightly mix almost all of the honeycomb through the yoghurt. Spoon into individual serving glasses and pour the coulis on top. Garnish with lavender flowers and a sprinkling of the remaining honeycomb. Serve immediately.

Worked absolutely perfectly and is the best of the 3 honeycomb recipes we have tried. NB: u really need a sugar thememoter and it makes it an absolute doddle. Need to heat slowly until all the sugar is dissolved, then whack the heat up, stick in the themometer and take the mixture up to "Hard Crack" or 150 centigrade.

Tried this once...also got a sticky mess that never really set. The secret is to really gently heat the mix until the sugar is dissolved, then kick the heat up to give it that nice golden brown color. If you are having trouble finding liquid glucose you can substitute with light corn syrup. Good luck!

I too just got a sticky mess that never went hard. Worst part about it is I was hosting a dinner party!!!! Dessert was a flop, needless to say. Gordon makes it look so easy, I did as he did. It's very rare for my cooking to flop. I was dissappointed.

To Debbie: I think baking soda is the same as sodium bicarbonate.

I just got a sticky mess that never went hard. Waste of ingredients for me. I think the honey and glucose would have been better measured as tbsp's rather than grams.

I have also tried this recipe and found that the honeycomb did not set properly in the middle, making it very hard to break up. How could i improve this?
