Apricot Ice Cream

For some, summer is evoked by the smell of hot dogs on the grill or maybe tomatoes on the vine. For me, it’s the delicate scent of the apricot ice cream a neighboring store churned all summer long throughout my childhood. This ice cream has a unique stretchy texture from the mastic, and a lovely orange color. Because the ice cream base itself is not too sweet, the apricot flavor takes center stage. Whenever I mix up a batch, I am transported directly back to those sunny childhood days.
