Frozen Delights & Sweet Inspirations

Today my wife and I decided to do something unusual for winter. We decided to get all of the fruit that we picked in the orchard this summer that we froze in the freezer and we made ice cream, sorbet and fruit for protein drinks with it all.

After a big breakfast we went to work immediately. We took out all of the freezer bags of fruit and we new we had a lot of work. We went to Bush-In-Vine Farm in South Carolina visiting my daughter. While their we picked Peaches, Plums, Blueberries, Strawberries and we had already had frozen Bananas at home. We brought everything back with us and bagged them for winter use. Most of the berries are used when I make blueberry or strawberry sugar free syrup for pancakes or waffles but most of the fruit is for ice cream. So the freezer had frozen navel oranges, mangos, cantaloupe, pineapples and of course the peaches, and plums.

My wife and I were talking about how awesome the orange is with Jay Robb vanilla protein and milk. It’s like having a creamcicle ice cream shake. Anyway, I made sorbet today. How much? How about 5 gallons of ice cream. My wife put the ice cream in pint size freezer bags & freezer cups. Now when we get in the mood for ice cream, we just grab it out of the freezer. It also gave us more room in the freezer now that we have this done.

White Peachy Keen, Jelly Bean?
Orange You Glad I didn’t say Banana?
Why so Glum Sugar Plum?
