Forestberrybudswithvanillaice cream • Hopefully you can enjoy a somewhat easier couple of working weeks during the holiday season because this time we have chosen a bit of ‘haute cuisine’ combined with vanilla ice cream. • We made little buds with forest berry flavour as a special twist for vanilla ice cream. • These buds are served in top restaurants . Forest berries are a mix of red, blue and purple ‘forest fruits’. This type of blend usually consists of raspberries, bramble berries and blue berries and sometimes wild strawberries. • Creating buds like these is a precision job but the enclosed recipe and directions will guide you to success however. • Vanilla finds its origin in the pods of the vanilla-orchid. They are used very widely in foodstuffs but also in perfume and tobacco. Madagascar is one of the largest suppliers of vanilla but the plant came from Mexico originally. • The most important flavour-substance of vanilla is vanillin that gives the strong vanilla aroma. The demand for natural vanilla far outstretches the worldwide production.
