60g chopped mixed peel

1/2 cup orange or lemon juice

Description

This is a very rich mix and a small serve only is usually needed.

I often just put it into an empty 4 litre ice-cream container.

This is a very hard ice-cream to scoop.

Peanut brittle is usually available from Darrel Lee.

Directions

Chop raisins, prunes and glace fruits and mix with the sultanas, currants and mixed peel.

Sprinkle with juice and allow to stand for several hours.

Lightly and quickly fold all the ingredients into the slightly softened ice cream.

Pack the mixture into a 3 litre mould and freeze overnight.
