Thank you. Thank goodness for the TMX washing powder as DH gets so dirty working on it. We hope to have it licensed within a week or two.

Here he is faffa! 

Cookie, I made your ice cream yesterday and churned this morning.  I'm going to say now that it is the nicest ice cream I've tasted.  Seriously!  I love it.

I didn't add the sugar with the apricots and water and the sweetness is just right for me.  Thankyou so much for a lovely recipe.

What is the difference between thickened and pouring cream cookie1? The fat content?

[cookie1]

Thickened cream actually has some gelatine added to it (I think). You could probably go ahead and use all the same and it would be fine. I have a feeling that when I made it for the first time that is probably what I had in the fridge. Can't really remember specifics that long ago.

Thank you cookie    I will try it soon.

I made this yesterday to have with birthday cake last night.  Following the suggestions, I didn't add any sugar to the apricots, so only used 1/4 cup altogether.  I had a 200ml carton  of pure cream which was almost enough cream, so just made up the extra with milk.  Still nice and creamy (not icy), not too rich, but with a nice apricot flavour.

I used rapadura, so it had quite a caramel colour which suited the apricot flavour.  I have to admit that when I first saw this recipe, I thought it sounded a bit strange.  But it was a big hit with our guests.  Thanks Cookie - very nice!
