Simple Raspberry Fool Recipe

A simple and easy recipe Raspberry Fool to help use up a glut of raspberries in my garden. The Autumn Raspberries have produced an abundance of fruit this year and are still going.

This recipe is taken from The Dairy Book of Home Cooking, one of my go to cook books. I have excluded the sugar from the original recipe as my raspberries did not require any additional sweetening.
