Because fresh berries are available all year.

 

So easy but so special.

Why not serve Bavarian Cream next time. 




For Dessert, Bavarian Cream with Raspberries and whipped cream laced with 23 carat gold, 

Recipe for Bavarian Cream
Mix 1 cup sugar with 1 quart raspberries. Let stand for 30 minutes
Soak 2 tsp gelatin in 3 TB of water, dissolve in 3 TB boiling water, stir this into berries
when cooled fold in 2 cups whipping cream laced with Liqueur.
Pour into mold or individual serving glasses. Chill for at least 6 hours. Serve with fresh blueberries and/or additional raspberries.




Speaking of Goldwasser Liqueur, those are 23 karat gold flakes floating at the bottom of the bottle. 
Goldwasser is now produced in Berlin, Germany. 

It was first produced in 1598 in the German town of Danzig, my Father's birthplace. 

Who knows, could Goldwasser be the cure all. 
It contains more than thirty herbs and spices. 

King Louis the XIV and Catherine the Great favored it.  

The recipe is a secret.  There is only one person who knows it.
The owner of the recipe is a German by the name of 
Graf Carl von Hardenberg. 


Have a wonderful week dear friends. 
Gina

  1. Dear Gina - I have never even heard of Goldwasser Liqueur before, let alone tasted it. However, your recipe looks and I am sure tastes devine.

  2. Dear Rosemary,
    Next time you go traveling have a look into some of the airport shops. Often the central European shops will have Goldwasser. Goldwasser is very, very good. The taste is pleasant and also very unique, probably because of the many herbs and spices with which it is made.
    Hope your wrist is healing well.

  3. That dessert sounds awesome Gina. I too am not familiar with Goldwasser - will have to look for it when I next fly! Such pretty photos of the fruit and flowers. Jasmin's 24th b'day today - I'm off to make her favorite mac 'n cheese and she'll be coming by this afternoon to open her gifts! Raining, and leaves now falling. Checked your weather and see you may have snow today, wow!!!!! Take care when outside.

  4. Dear Mary,
    I think that you can purchase Danziger Goldwasser (the original) from Amazon and other importers. It is becoming quite scarce just as Mozartkugeln are hard to find. You have better luck when leaving from an Austrian or Bavarian or even German airport.
    Happy Birthday to you my dear friend. I hope that you have an extra special day.
