It was remarkably wet at Hoghton Tower this month. We didn't sell many ice creams but managed to sell out of Lancashire Griddle Cakes. The top picture shows our special Autumn themed ice creams that I have made recently. I'll update the flavours list soon to show what's left.
Here's the fruit before I add the cream for two new ice creams. There's another batch of plum at the back (plum is one of my favourite ice creams so far) and at the front is a brand new flavour - Greengage. It tastes lovely so far! Greengages are like green plums, I'd never tasted one before but they are amazing. They taste a bit like gooseberry, a bit like apple and a bit like plum. Very exciting. All our fruit ice creams are made of fruit, sugar and cream, nothing weird.
This was our best farmers market yet, we sold a lot of Whinberry Ice Cream, though I still have about ten left until it is all gone.
Thanks to everyone who bought an ice cream at the Harpers lane Allotment Open Day, it was our most succesful day yet! This week I will be making lots and lots more ice cream. I still have a bunch of flavours left and by friday should be back up to a good number. I have run out of sweet potato and pecan though.
