Most of the organic ice-cream ready today from supermarkets and ice-cream vans honestly fills you up with sugar, preservatives and colourings. For years the buyer has put up with the same flavours and names. As the Uk has become more continentally aware it is not only coffee and croissants that we have come accustomed to, there is the delicacy of home-made organic ice-cream. It is made from 100% organic ingredients.
Nothing is more satisfying than advent home from a hard day's graft to discontinue off the evening meal with a forest fruits organic ice-cream. Of policy it is more expensive, but the taste is sensational as if you are in the forest. There are no additives, preservatives, colourings or trapped Air better known as soft ice-cream to be lumbered with. In the summer months you can pinch wild growing blackberries from just about anywhere the sun shines. Other favourites are loganberries, raspberries and blueberries. Berries are notoriously expensive wherever purchased, but one could try more acquired tastes such as mint liquor or even...champagne! A more realistic and healthier scenario is looking a wee closer into your own orchad and request yourself what else there is edible and compatible for ice-cream? Carrots instead of the carrot cake and violets. Violets? Yep that's right from the flower beds without the stalks of course. Besides all fruits come from the flower anyway.
