Well it is the time of year to start making rose syrup. June is rose month in this neck of the woods. I tell you in winter, when I am longing for a bit of summer a bowl of vanilla ice cream, drizzled with rose syrup is perfect.
This ice cream is almost the same as the rosey frozen treat . I love ice cream but who can afford heavy cream anymore. Plus all the work. This is just simply buttermilk, strawberries and rose syrup. It really is better with full fat buttermilk, because lets face it fat is where the flavor and mouth feel is.
I have added a few more rose syrup recipes in my list on the left side. There a few with rose water, but as long as it is a sweet recipe you can use the rose syrup instead. I do hope if you have never tried making rose syrup, this year you will xoxo
PS. a scoop of ice cream in a glass of dry gewurztraminer or rose` is amazing !!!
Rose Strawberry Ice cream
4 cup frozen or fresh strawberries
1 1/2 cup buttermilk, bulgarian full fat is better
1 cup rosey syrup
sugar, to taste as needed
milk also as needed
In a food processor (if you do not have one, you can also use a blender, but for the ice cream I like the processor better) add berries, buttermilk and rose syrup. Process till smooth, if too thick add milk, till you get the consistency you like. It should be pourable but not too thin. Taste if not sweet enough, add sugar till it suits your palette.
Pour into pre-paired (frozen) ice cream maker and run till thick. For mine it is usually 1/2 hour. Transfer to a container and freeze.
Peach Crisp
sliced 6-8 peaches in a baking dish. You do not need any sugar unless the peaches are not very sweet. Sprinkle topping over peaches and bake 350 for 1/2 hour until topping is browned and juices from the peaches are running.
Clarice,
this sounds so yummy! reading about your rose syrup made me remember how I bought a jar of rose jelly from the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Sababurg, Germany 3 summers ago... very good!
I haven't visited you for awhile because we recently moved to a new house. I'm so glad I remembered about you! as always, you have been posting such beautiful and inspiring things.

Oh yeah? What flavor ice cream do you recommend with Gewürztraminer?
My husband loves to say the word "Gewürztraminer". He is so weird. I prefer to drink it. LOL

Dear Clarice,
Your photo is beautiful! The rosey ice cream looks so yummy, as does the peach crisp! I hope to purchase an ice cream maker soon.
Thank you for sharing the recipes!
Love, Paula

Dear Clarice,
Oh, that looks heavenly! I wonder if it would work with cashews and coconut oil as a fat base. I've seen a few raw ice cream recipes like that around the web. Either way, yum, yum!
Love,

Oh dear me! Naughty, naughty, naughty. I'm not supposed to indulge in such, after being stented.
My coronary arteries were cleaned out, with the stenting. But will clog up again... If I'm not careful.
