Berry & Brandy Cream Palate Cleanser (Or Dessert) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups strawberries (frozen, but thawed, chopped and kept cold)
2 tablespoons raspberry preserves
2 tablespoons honey
6 ounces whipping cream
3 ounces Baileys Irish Cream
1 ounce brandy
3 tablespoons pecans (finely chopped and divided per prep)

Preparation

In a blender, combine 1st 6 ingredients and blend until berries are fully pureed and mixture is creamy.
Gently fold in 2 tbsp of chopped pecans and divide mixture among 8 small serving glasses approximately 4 ounces in size.
Top each serving with a few pieces of the remaining 1 tbsp of chopped pecans and chill for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
NOTES: The yield is 8 3-oz servings as a palate cleanser after a savory course of an elegant meal. As a light dessert, I suggest 6 4-0z servings w/a sml berry, scattered choc shavings, a mint or a cookie to dress it up.
