Brown Bread & Honey

 Ice Cream

.

I understand the recipe for this delicious ice cream was a closely guarded secret when it was sold in the Winchester College Tuck Shop. 

The College was founded by the Bishop of Winchester, William Wykeham in the late 14th century, however the ice cream does not date from that time!

Method

.

Remove crusts and slice the bread, place in slow oven for about 20 minutes or until it starts to harden. Do not allow to dry out too much or it will become rusk like. 

Lightly whip cream and sugar and place in freezer for about 30 minutes.

Crumble bread in an electric blender and place bread crumbs in a small bowl. Melt honey over a gentle heat or in a microwave oven, add either Orange or lemon juice. Pour honey mixture over the breadcrumbs, then mix the sweetened bread crumb mix with semi frozen cream, mixing well. 

Freeze  for a further 2 hours before serving. As this mixture will not form ice crystals it will not require further whipping. If using an ice cream maker, sprinkle the crumb mixture into cream mix about half way through the process.
