Ice cream

[sunflower]

A couple of weeks ago on Woman's Hour a chap talked about an 1885 recipe for ice cream so I made it and it's lovely.
I punnet of strawberries
I tub of whipping cream
Billington's unrefined sugar with a vanilla pod.

Whip up the cream into peaks
mash the strawberries
pour sugar into strawberries and wait until dissolved
Fold strawberries into whipped cream
Put in container and then into freezer
Take out of freezer after one hour and fork through mixture
Put back into freezer for one hour
After second hour take out of freezer and fork through mixture again, this breaks up ice crystals.
Third time take out of freezer and fork through mixture
Put back into freezer until needed
When ready to use, leave out of freezer for about 25 minutes to soften.
Dish up with ice cream scoop.
DELICIOUS!!! Thanks Woman's Hour!!
PS I used a couple of tablespoonfuls of ordinary white granulated sugar.

It sounds so like summer - thanks Sunflower - I've never made ice cream before, so perhaps I should try this. Is a tub of whipping cream about 250 ml? We get 250 ml tubs of cream here which is why I ask - don't know if it's the same over there?

It looks quite easy actually.One day i might just try it.

I'm not sure Crocus, I'm afraid I did'nt look. I just know that the tub of whipping cream developed into three times it's size and I used nearly all of the strawberries. Yes, it's very easy to make......I like easy things Ha Ha!
