Warmer weather seems to get people out driving and seeing our beautiful countryside before they or the countryside gets too busy.

Well that also means we have to stock up with ice-cream. So on Saturday we prepared the fruit and the ice-cream base  and on Sunday we made the ice-cream. We were fortunate too in that it rained on Sunday so we had less to do outside.All of our icecream use natural ingredients and what makes ours so different is that we use our own fruit and lots of it. Each batch is specifically formulated to take into account the type of fruit we

use.

The result is a very fruity ice-cream but still 12% butterfat but tending to give the clean mouth feel of a sorbet.

It must be good as everyone comes back for more. We get so busy in the summer that we only produce ice-cream for our shop and do not distribute it.

So next week we have to make another lot and this time give some thought to producing a special ice-cream for Christmas. Maybe Christmas Pudding ice-cream but we would love to hear your ideas so why not write something in our comment section.
