recently
in an early morning whim
i dragged hubster
to a far-off orchard
to pick
a bushel of cherries
as we stood in the shade of a tree
him reaching to higher branches
me
for the low hanging fruit
cherry stained and gleeful
i half whispered
"isn't this just so much fun"
to
which hubster responded
as he bent a branch to my reach
"no
this is torture
but i am happy
you are enjoying it"
this ice cream
is
a love letter
filled with
sweetness of ripe fruit
rich-depth of ground almonds
&
deep warmth of a stiff drink
from me
to him
i must tell you this is not a difficult recipe, but it is complicated
taking many steps and some time
but
if you are an ice cream person
with
a special occasion on the horizon
you should make this
it is seriously good
cherry marzipan ice cream

That looks yummy and I loved the rest of your post... interestingly I am not an ice cream person in summer... but I love ice cream during winter... especially on the very cold, gray days... so I'll save this for a day like that ;) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am an ice cream person and this sounds absolutely divine! Lovely post!

ReplyDeleteIt's nice that your hubby was being a good sport about the cherry picking. Sounds like a lot of fun to me! Wish we had cherry picking in our area. Your ice cream sounds phenomenal. I'd gladly pick a bushel for a taste!
