Honey Recipes Cooking in the Fridge		"A-Z" INDEX &   SEARCH Sweet Making and Ice Cream Making for Sr. Catherine's course

Part of the objective in sweet making here is to use recipes that include honey as an ingredient, partly to promote honey in cookery and partly to educate 'would be' beekeepers in how to use a portion of their crop. Apart from that... It is good fun and the results are tasty.

Herb Ice Cream...
Ingredients
	12 fl Oz - (350 ml) of fresh milk
	6 fl Oz - (175 ml) pure Irish honey
	16 fl Oz - (475 ml) cream
	6 egg yolks
	40 sprigs fresh herbs (a little Thyme & a generous supply of Apple Mint was Sr. Catherine's choice)

Method:-

Put the milk and cream into saucepan with the herb sprigs.
Bring to the boil and leave to infuse 15-20 minutes.
Whisk the egg yolks, and add a little of the cooled herb flavoured liquid and then mix the two together.
Cook over a low heat until the mixture barely thickens and lightly coats the back of the spoon.
Melt the honey gently, just to liquefy.
Add to the custard, formed by the milk and eggs. Mix well.
Chill thoroughly and then freeze.
Serve, garnished with sprigs of the herbs used in the recipe.

It is hoped to add a few more recipes, perhaps illustrated by other groups of children in subsequent years.
