Another Favorite of mine is Rhubarb Ripple Ice Cream

Before starting the ice cream you will need to make the rhubarb syrup
this recipe is so simple
About 1lb of cleaned and roughly chopped Rhubarb
7 cups of water
4 cups of honey or you can use Sugar,  best to leave it slightly tart at this stage as you will be adding more sugar later
1 vanilla pod

Place all the ingredients into a large stainless steel pan and bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes til the rhubarb is soft and slightly mushy but do not over cook or you will lose the pinkness of the rhubarb.
Strain the mixture through a muslin cloth or a colander lined with a plain white tea towel, you can use a sieve but make sure that it is a very fine mesh as want to strain only the juice through.
Leave the liquid to drain through, DO NOT try to push through as it will make the syrup cloudy.
Once done keep the fruit to use in cakes etc
Meanwhile place the liquid back on to heat adding more sugar/honey to taste, I prefer to leave the syrup slightly tart.
Allow to boil on medium heat until the mix has reduced by half and has thickened.
Cool before pouring into jars and place in fridge until ready to use.

For the Ice Cream
This makes about a pint of ice cream
4 egg yolk
100g caster sugar
3/4pt milk
1/4pt thick(double) cream
1 vanilla pod

Whisk the yolks and sugar together til light and fluffy
Put the milk onto boil, halve the vanilla pod, scrap out the seeds and put into the milk along with the pod case halves. Allow to boil then remove from the heat.
Pour the milk onto the yolk and sugar mix while whisking continuously to prevent curdling ( or you will end up with scrambled eggs). Pass the mix through a fine sieve and then add the cream, stir to combine fully.
Place into ice cream machine and churn. Add the rhubarb syrup on the last churn so you get the ripple effect. Freeze until ready to use.

any leftover syrup can be used to :
Flavor Yoghurts
Flavor Lemonade, Still and Sparkling Water
Mix with Vodka, Rum etc to create a different flavored drink
Topping for Cheesecake


Happy cooking
