	Fruit Fool Fool is a light, cream and fruit based dessert. Why a fool? Well, perhaps because people could be fooled into thinking it was a lot more complex to make than it was, or that you would be a fool to miss trying it?? Whatever the origin of it's name, it is well worth a try. The favourite fruits to use are generally rhubarb in the spring, gooseberries soon after, and then the summer berries. Use whichever soft fruits are in season. You can often pick blackberries in the hedgerows in August and September- make sure you wash them well. Tangy fruits with a slightly sharp taste complement the smoothness of the cream, and ensure that the flavour of the fruit is not 'swamped' by the luxuriousness of the cream.
