Wayne,
Sounds like you'd have enjoyed the gelato we made recently! There is a stand near my
mom's place where we like to get strawberries...always good. Then a few weeks back we
went to get some and he had the most amazing smelling raspberries, just picked about
and hour before we arrived. You could smell them the minute we opened the truck
doors! We went home, pulled out some raspberry puree I'd made for waffles, and made
gelato with the fresh berries and the puree. About 1/2 way through the time it was to
be in the ice cream maker, just after it was beginning to look like soft-serve, I
drizzled in melted bittersweet chocolate, so it made "flakes" of chocolate
throughout. It was the best gelato I've ever made!
