Homemade Ice Cream Recipes

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

It’s so easy to make your own, and since many things don’t taste like they used to, or even contain dairy in some cases, it’s good to know how to do it yourself, without the use of an ice-cream maker in my case.

A couple of them I put the recipes up for, and will try and get the other two publishing and linked so they are all there – and not sure if I wrote down the recipt when I made blackberry last year. But you can try any flavour you like (apart from tropical fruits apparently, I think some curdling is said to occur), and with some awesome fruits around now and more heat on the way, it’s a good time to try.

Homemade Strawberry Cream Chocolates

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

I thought I would upgrade the challenge of making cream filled chocolates. Last week I made the perfect Orange Creams, and this week thought I would try strawberry. But a little more fancy than just the usual moulds.

I used small foil consetina cases, lined them with chocolate, then put in the strawberry filling, finally adding stripey decoration. Putting them in the fridge in between each stage to set. Then carefully removing the foil cup once all put together and left for a few hours in the fridge.

They look exactly as I meant them to, although intended to be slightly tidier, but they taste great, which is the main objective after all.

Homemade Black Seed Oil

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

Having had a very good spread of Nigella flowers this year, thought I’d try making cold pressed black seed oil. Crushed the seeds, put them in coconut oil and let it sit for a few weeks, stirring every day or so. Then strained and put in tincture bottles. I have another lot of seeds to do and have to try it out still, but it’s a start.
