Fruity Ice cream - yum yum yum


Last night (yes I know I'm becoming a little boring and predictable) but we have house-guests and I needed a wow dessert from the garden.  I had some frozen red currants so tried a recipe that I sometimes make with other fruit, to see how it would work.  AMAZINGLY good. 

For 2 cups of frozen free flow de-strigged red currants add 1 cup of cream and 1 cup of icing sugar to your blender or food processor.  Turn it on and then be ready to add more cream if you need to.  If the blender/processor  won’t churn up the cream add a little more cream at a time, until everything starts to move around.   As soon as the fruit is chopped up and the (now) ice cream reasonably smooth, stop and serve the most wonderful soft-serve ice-cream.  I drizzled a little of the poached summer medley over the top – spectacular for next to no effort.

If you don't have free-flow frozen red currants, pick some in the morning, put them on a tray in the freezer, and then when they are frozen, de-strig them with a fork (the easiest way to do this) and then pop them back in the freezer on the tray again until they are solid.  When you are ready for dessert they are waiting.  Five minutes and dessert is on the table.
