Chocolate and Raspberry Macaroons. Or macarons. Whichever floats your boat.
I made these while my sister was here, partly so that she could read out the recipe and partly so she could help us eat them. I was dreading it really, because the OH has tried his hand at them and it took him several tries to get them right. I on the other hand hit the jackpot at the first time of trying. No-one more surprised than me and all down to the recipe I suspect.
They are very uneven as my attempts at piping are still very hit and miss, and some of them have cracked. On the other hand they have the lovely shine they should have and the texture was just right; crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside.
They were delicious and as a bonus the raspberries I used for the jam were from our own bushes. After some very low yielding years, this year they have produced a bumper crop.
