Wow, so simple, so delicious! Have been making sorbets and ices this week, see blog. It was time to use my industrial sized ice cream churner and the classic egg and cream based ices are too rich for my taste. Beautifully presented with garden flowers as well. Must get back to blipping as soon as veg garden allows, regards F

Oh, that looks so nice. Even nicer if you've picked the peaches (warmed by the mediterranean sun)yourself, I should imagine.
