Our current special is Apple with Cider Brandy Ice Cream - one of our most locally-sourced ice creams - using Apples grown at Putley on a Community Supported Agriculture Farm, and Cider Brandy made from Herefordshire Cider. Try serving this with Apple Dumplings (English Apples of course).
To make the Apple Dumplings: Allow one cooking apple per person. Peel and core. Stuff the central hole with dried fruit mixed with brown sugar. Rollout some shortcrust pastry (or cheat and use ready rolled). Cut circles of pastry big enough to completely wrap the apples - a small dinner plate will be about the right size. Place each apple in the centre of a pastry circle and mould the pastry up and around the apple to completely seal. Trim off any excess at the top and use trimmings to cut leaf shapes to decorate the dumplings. Bake in a hot oven (Gas mark 6/200 degrees C/400 degrees F) for thirty to forty minutes. Five minutes before the end of the cooking time, brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with caster sugar, then return to the oven until golden brown. Serve hot with a big scoop of Just Rachel Apple with Cider Brandy Ice Cream.
As an extra Christmas treat, we have NOUGAT ICE CREAM and a NOUGAT & ORANGE DESSERT, both made with Spanish Nougat! Not really ideal for those who are watching their figure, but well worth putting on a few pounds for!
Our Christmas range of Ice Creams, Sorbets, Desserts and Mince Pies are now available.
