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. That is the reason why synthetic vanillin was developed. Next to vanillin the 3 times stronger ethyl-vanillin is used where. Vanilla is the first and most common ice cream flavour. With the forest berry buds you can make your everyday ice cream a culinary masterpiece. Forest berry buds with vanilla ice cream Click left mouse button for the recipe
