Bowled Over
January 31st, 2021On, Dasher!
Today I’m working on a new batch of cherry vanilla ice cream, even though I still have a lot left over from yesterday. I’m going to see if I can get the old batch into a container for storage.
The only complaint I had about yesterday’s ice cream was that the fruit froze hard. I saw that Internet people suggested soaking fruit in vodka. I didn’t want my cherries to taste like vodka, though. I decided to try cherry Heering, which is a liqueur.
Sadly, the liquor store closest to me does not sell cherry Heering. I opted to buy cheap vodka and grenadine syrup. I mixed them up with a lot of sugar and soaked sliced cherries overnight.
I already have ice cream in the machine. The drained cherries are waiting to jump in.
Hope this works.

The ice cream is done, and I have tried it. I tried two bowls, in fact.
It is the most amazing ice cream in the universe. I had no idea ice cream could be this good.
The texture is smooth and creamy. The flavor is perfect. The cherry chunks are soft and not frozen at all.
I have summited the ice cream Everest. Now I don’t know what to do with my new superpower.
Why did God give me a gift for cooking? I almost never cook for anyone. I live alone. I tried cooking for a church, and they ran me out.
Guess I’ll come up with some more flavors. I was thinking it would be good to make strawberry with some sort of crumbly, crunchy stuff added. I can’t do chocolate because chocolate keeps me awake.
My next project will be peach.
Oh, no. I just realized I can make Heath bar ice cream. Sayonara, Ben & Jerry!

A suggestion on the liquor – have you considered kirshwasser?

Just looked it up. The Internet says Heering is sweeter and has more cherry flavor.
