About this recipe:
This is the recipe I standardised upon for my early forays into ice cream making, although I often used double quantities once I knew that they succeeded. Among the flavours used, as far as I can recall, were mandarin orange, pineapple, peach, apricot, cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, mango and papaya all using canned or bottled fruits. I even used bottled black cherries in Kirsch and that was excellent.
I always used fruit canned or bottled either in a neutral syrup or in the fruit’s own juice. I would not use fruit in apple or pear juice as the flavours were less defined.
