It's berry time here in Vermont and we have already made strawberry and raspberry ice creams. The strawberry is made with Sparkle strawberries which are the sweetest most flavorful berries on this earth; although too fragile to sell commercially. It only takes 2 cups of strawberries for 4 pints of ice cream. It takes 4 cups of raspberries and you end up with 1/4 cup+ seeds if you strain the berries; that's a lot of seeds! The kitchen is filled with the smell of berries when we make these ice creams. Now we will try your mocha recipe before we move on to blueberry ice cream. Did I mention we grow a lot of berries? Oh, and did you know if you add 2 to 3 tablespoons of vodka to your batch at the end, you will be able to scoop the ice cream no matter how cold your freezer or hard the ice cream?
