About

If you dislike the colour of the cooked fruit you could retain the pinkness by adding a drop or two of Grenadine, but this is not necessary and won’t give you the real feeling of home-made comfort food.

Ingredients

Ginger ice cream

250 ml full-fat milk
300 ml double cream
1

Method

For the ice cream, heat the milk, cream, vanilla, ginger and syrup together in a saucepan. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl. Pour the milk mix over the eggs and sugar and return to the pan to thicken over a gentle heat. Remove from the stove, cool, then churn in the usual way in an ice-cream machine. When almost done, remove and decant into a suitable container to the freezer.</
