Summer fruit is delicious eaten with just a little sugar and cream – but why stop there? There are lots of ways to make the most of the British summer crops.

We’ve shared our favourite recipes, from the classic summer pudding to gooseberry cake and redcurrant coulis. We’ve also shared some broad bean recipes to give you ideas on how to use this versatile summer vegetable.

Many desserts taste just as good made later in the year with freshly frozen fruit, so stock up the freezers and revive the summer flavours throughout the year.
