Baked egg custard with summer fruits

Ingredients

For the baked custard
400ml/14fl oz double cream
175ml/6fl oz full-fat milk
6 free-range egg yolks
6 tbsp runny honey
freshly grated nutmeg
For the raspberry sauce
450g/1lb ripe raspberries
2 lemons, juice only
1 orange, juice only
175g/6oz caster sugar
1 750ml/1¼ pints bottle red wine
For the red fruit compote
450g/1lb raspberries
55g/2oz redcurrants, hulls removed
55g/2oz blackcurrants, hulls removed
85ml/3fl oz crème de framboise

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 3.
2. For the baked custard, heat the cream and milk together until boiling, then remove from the heat.
3. Beat the egg yolks and half the honey together, then pour in the hot cream. Strain into a jug.
4. Drizzle the remaining honey into 4 non-stick dariole moulds, grate a little nutmeg on top of the honey, then pour in the custard. Sprinkle the top with a little more nutmeg. Place the dariole moulds on a baking tray and pour in hot water to come halfway up the sides of the moulds. Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until just set.
5. Remove the moulds from the water and allow to cool. Refrigerate until half an hour before serving.
6. For the sauce, purée the raspberries with the lemon and orange juices in a blender until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve into a non-reactive saucepan. Discard the pips.
7. Add the sugar and red wine and bring to the boil over a moderate heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 300ml/10fl oz. Skim off any scum that may come to the surface and discard. Set aside in a cool place until ready to use.
8. For the compote, place the fruit in a non-reactive pan and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then add the crème de framboise. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the fruit into four dariole moulds lined with cling film. Cover with the overhanging cling film, then weigh down each with a light weight to compress the fruit. Leave overnight.
9. To serve, turn the custards out onto four plates. Turn out the fruit compotes beside the custard, then add a swirl of the raspberry sauce.
