Adapted from "Food for Friends" by Sally Pasley Vargas, this French-inspired recipe results in whole berries preserved in a caramel-like sugar syrup - certainly gem like in appearance, and with a taste just as precious! I only had enough berries for 1/4 batch but it turned out so well I'm saving the recipe for next year's crop!

In memory of my mother, Connie Ruby Rosen née Isakofsky (1919-1976) whose anniversary (July 3rd) was last week, and who attended Central Foundation Girls' School as a teenager.
(I thought I'd put up a week's worth of photos relating to my mother, to mark her anniversary.)

THE NARRATIVE
Last Saturday (July 5th, 2014), I went in search of the site of Connie's school buildings in Spitalfields, though I had understood that they had all been demolished. After wandering around the largely redeveloped Spitalfields area, I eventually found the right location and then noticed that there were a few older buildings left, one of which looked as if it might be one of the school buildings. It was now a smart restaurant, Galvin La Chapelle, but without any outward sign of it having been a school building. So I went inside and asked the receptionist if she knew anything about the history of the building. She said 'yes', and confirmed that the building was part of Central Foundation Girls' School. She then offered me a 3-page leaflet recounting a brief history of the school, and how the building on the far R here, St. Botolph's Hall, was saved from demolition by a group of local protesting residents, eventually to be Grade II listed and restored. (With the amount of demolition and redevelopment in this area, it's a wonder there were any residents left to protest about the demolition.) The leaflet contained several old images of the school buildings including this one here, and see also below.

THE VIEW
The picture, from an unknown source (scanned here from the restaurant leaflet) is a copy of lithograph or engraving. It shows the entire CFGS frontage on Spital Square as it was in 1892, shortly after it was completed (1890). Although labelled as 'Bishopsgate Schools for Girls', the building became Central Foundation Girls' School.
The view shows the NW corner of Steward Street (far L) and, in the foreground, one of the several streets called Spital Square, in London E1, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Much of the area has also been completely redeveloped on a large scale in recent years. Steward Street no longer exists as a street, but a pedestrian area follows more or less the same line, with seating areas and rather austere urban landscaping.
Spitalfields Market was to the L of this view, but has now gone apart from its listed buildings. The school buildings between the corner and St. Botolph's Hall have been replaced by a modern building, occupied by a restaurant, Café à Vin. Spital Square (street in foreground) continues eastward (to the L) as Lamb Street and then as Hanbury Street. The site is very close to Liverpool Street mainline rail terminus, on the opposite side of Bishopsgate.
The gabled building on the R, St. Botolph's Hall, is now the last remaining school building. Its name reflects its dual role as a parish hall for the Parish of St. Botolph and as the school gym. Demolition of the other school buildings happened between 1976 and 1977, but St. Botolph's Hall was left standing after a local residents' campaign to save it. It remained empty from 1976 and became derelict until it was restored and became occupied by the restaurant, Galvin La Chapelle, which opened in 2009.

THE SCHOOL (CFGS)
CFGS started as a free charity school for boys and girls in 1697, and in 1726 occupied another site not far from here. The school later moved several times within this immediate area, partly in response to the expansion of Liverpool Street mainline terminus, eventually occupying the then new building (see here) on this site in 1890. The school also became split into separate boys' and girls' schools, the boys' one moving nearby to Bishopsgate. In 1975, CFGS relocated to Bow about 3.5 Km to the E of here - by coincidence, about one third of the distance away from where Connie actually grew up in Bethnal Green, to its Spitalfields location when she attended.

The family continues to have associations with this area. Some of the family now have a place in Hanbury Street, continuing L from this view. Other family members live in another area a bit further away.

This is Ruby Dixon. She is my Nan. This was taken during the hiatus between wedding ceremony and meal. You can see she is much happier after a box of cashews and an orange juice.
Prior to this she was 'kicking-off' due to a lack of food (sugar). "No, i am not having a nice time. I am uncomfortable. This is like no wedding I have ever been to."
She was on cheeky top form all day, even giving me a wink after a particularly sweet diss. The perfect diss-machine. As she said, no one can touch her because she's 80.
The cane is just for show. My sister busted her breaking into a little jog on the way to the toilet. She is not frail. She is powered by nicotine and belgian chocolates.
