2.0.4 Sugar
Use caster sugar, as it dissolves more easily.You
can also use icing sugar, brown sugar or honey.
grind coarse granulated sugar in a blender or
food processor before use. A too low sugar
content has an adverse effect on the texture and
consistency of the ice cream.
If you add too much sugar, it takes longer for the
ice cream to set to the desired consistency.You
can also replace part of the sugar by dextrose
(grape sugar). If the recipe requires 100g
(4oz) sugar, you can use 75g (3oz) sugar and 25g
(1oz) grape sugar instead. grape sugar prevents
crystallisation of the sugar, especially in sorbets.
2.0.5 Fruit
Fresh fruit makes the tastiest ice cream and is
also nutritious. Fruit from a jar or a tin is also
suitable. However, in that case make sure the
fruit is well-drained before you puree it. Also
reduce the amount of sugar by 25g, depending
on the type of fruit and your own taste. Summer
fruits are easy to freeze (e.g. strawberries,
raspberries and peaches), so fruit ice cream can
be made from fresh fruit all year round. Frozen
fruit can be stored for about 8 to 9 months in a
freezer or a *** or **** freezing compartment
in the refrigerator.
Uncooked fruits that have been pureed
discolour easily.To prevent this, sprinkle apples,
bananas, pears and plums with some lemon
juice before you puree them. If you want to add
pieces of fruit to the ice cream mixture, sprinkle
them with some sugar to prevent ice crystals
from forming inside the fruit pieces during the
freezing process.
and keep it in a tightly sealed bottle in the
refrigerator.
