Berry Fool recipes have been around for a very long time----case in point. When I was 14 (72 years ago) my Mom made berry fools when the milk man would give here the extra cream he had. Milk and dairy stuff was actually delivered by a real person in real glass bottles usually 3 times a week. My Mom expanded on the fool idea by adding ricotta cheese which she whipped and flavored with orange juice and zest. Have fun with this ever so simple recipe and enjoy.
