Using the freezer in June

Gather herbs on a warm sunny day. Chop them finely and freeze in ice-cube trays with a little water. Each cube will hold just enough for a sauce or to add to a prepared dish like a stew or a soup. Mint, parsley and chives are particularly useful but it should be remembered that they are best used in cooked dishes and are not suitable for a garnish.
Make delicious ice creams from fresh fruits – home-made ice cream has an unrivalled flavour and they are so easy to make. The easiest ice creams are made from frozen fruit fools. Use equal parts sweetened fruit purée and whipped double cream – gooseberry, blackcurrant and strawberry are three of the best. For an unusual dinner party dessert try the fresh mint ice cream. It has a pale green colour and a lovely fresh flavour. Pop the container of ice cream into the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving so the texture softens slightly and the flavour develops.
