Apricot Ice Cream

I don't know about where you are right now...but here, in Lillooet, it has been a billion degrees for the last few weeks.

Nope. Not even exaggerating. 

A billion degrees.

Want to know what food you should eat when it's this hot out? Ice cream, ice cream, and more ice cream.

It's true.

I think it's a law. Or...at least it should be.

Anyways....this ice cream is super simple to make and is perfect if you don't like in-your-face flavor in your ice cream. It is mild, subtle, even delicate. Just right to use up those apricots you have hanging around.
