Ingredients
- 600 g Irish Strawberries
- 3 tbsp High Bank Orchard apple syrup
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 150 mls condensed milk
- 150 mls double cream
- 150 ml ready-made custard
- 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 180℃ fan. Wash the strawberries, sparingly cut of the green leaf on top.
- Place on a roasting tray and sprinkle over the brown sugar, the balsamic vinegar and High Bank Orchard apple syrup. Toss well and roast for 30minutes.
- When cooked, remove the strawberries from the oven. Place in a small saucepan & allow the strawberry mixture to bubble on medium to high for about 5 minutes. This will reduce the liquid to a thick syrup. Then allow to cool and chill fully. Place the strawberries and syrup in the food processor and blitz together until it forms a smooth puree. This will make 450mls puree.
- Whip the condensed milk, double cream and vanilla bean paste until it forms soft peaks. Fold in the custard. Then fold in the strawberry puree.
- Pour in to a 2lb loaf tin, cover with cling film and freeze on the fast freeze setting (-25℃) for 8 hours.
- Serve: Take out of the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Serve in a tall ice-cream glass with lots of fresh strawberries and garish with a little fresh mint. Enjoy.
