I know, I know, that's no excuse not to make ice cream - it had better go on the to do list.

Hope your friend takes some ice cream round to yours and shows you what it's all about. :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Sophie - Rhubarb and porridge is great; I had some of that with the extras that were cooked up!<BR/><BR/>Hi Amanda - Nice to see you back. :) Rhubarb and elderflower sounds wonderful, and very very british!<BR/><BR/>Hi Antonia - If you have any rhubarb recipe tips I'd love to hear them. I'm always surprised by how healthy it is and so think any chance to cook with it is a good one.<BR/><BR/>Hi Tanna - Thanks for agreeing with me about the present. :) I haven't yet settled on what it will be, though...<BR/><BR/>Hi Diane and Todd - I'll be planting rhubarb this week, and am already nervous about the local wildlife getting to it. Between cats, foxes, and birds, I just know one of them will love it and will break my heart by stealing it all.<BR/><BR/>Hi Cynthia - I think that's a great suggestion! Definitely along the right lines of thinking, particularly with the later season rhubarb I used. If there's some at the market this weekend, I'll be trying again. :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Pixie - I feel your pain. The ice cream maker was finally bought after I *did* try the hand churning thing recently and got too frustrated to do it again. Hope you find some tasty treats for your rhubarb.<BR/><BR/>Hi Niamh - If you're tempted by soya ice cream, I'd definitely say it's worth it. Everything comes out slightly vanilla-y because the soya cream tastes that way, but you can balance that out. I would say it's really worth it making a custard base for any ice cream, since the eggs help give the fatty mouthfeel that plain soya milk can't match.<BR/><BR/>Hi Scoopalicious - Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Hi Emiline - If I know grannies, they'll be happy with *anything* you make for them, so she'd love a rhubarb and strawberry cake. I made a wonderful rhubarb crumble a little while ago which is linked to in this post, so if granny is more of a cake and coffee girl, that might work too.<BR/><BR/>Hi Gigi - If I could express a spoonful over to you, I would. :)Annemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611096567139013824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819270143119857602.post-39090966909719098332008-04-15T11:12:00.000+01:002008-04-15T11:12:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Cookinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173367292463641098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819270143119857602.post-89468293077323367472008-04-14T19:48:00.000+01:002008-04-14T19:48:00.000+01:00Rhubarb ice cream?

Haven't made an ice-cream though, this sounds excellent. You are right - anything added to the ice-cream maker needs to be properly chilled prior to adding, or it simply won't firm up. I made this exact mistake with my first ice-cream. Anyway, it looks delicious to me!Abitofafoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627160211408538168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819270143119857602.post-20925819577943903642008-04-13T10:16:00.000+01:002008-04-13T10:16:00.000+01:00This sounds really good.
