Rose Petal Ice Cream Recipe

How to make it

---

• I enjoy using the exotic flavors of orange blossom, almond and rose petals.
• Since I don't grow my own roses and had no access to organic pesticide free rose petals, I decided to concoct my own ice cream recipe using a rose petal spread.
• The ice cream came out wonderful with a delicate pink color and a subtle but wonderful flavor.
• In a heavy duty sauce pot place all ingredients and cook and stir over medium heat to dissolve the rose petal spread.
• Cool and chill till very cold.
• Process in an electric ice cream maker until thickened .
• Place mixture in a container, stir to distribute any rose petal leaves from the spread and add and stir in nuts if using.
• Freeze until firm before use - usually overnight.
• Yield: about 4 cups.
• Note: if you do have some fresh ,clean, small , pesticide free rose petals by all means add them to the ice cream maker when making the ice cream adding them when the ice cream gets thickened.
• Note, no extra sugar in the recipe.
• * I used the Greek Brand: Sarantis but Ahmed is a Pakistani Brand .
• There are other Turkish and Middle Eastern brands.
• All are found at ethnic grocers or may be ordered on the Net.
• Remember to use a spread, preserves or jam and not jelly.
