Cocktail party

You can use any fresh berries you like in this recipe. Note

You need 25 foil petit four cases for this recipe. Note

Punch is best served very cold. Try freezing some of the berries and lemonade together in shaped ice trays and add these to the punch instead of regular ice. This way, you won’t dilute the flavour. Note

Soak 10 bamboo skewers in cold water for an hour before use to prevent them splintering or scorching during cooking. Note

Using slightly under-ripe plums gives them a higher pectin level, which helps the paste to set. Note

Bacardi or dark rum can be used, though the slightly darker rum has a stronger flavour. Note
