Delicious Raspberry Variegate for Frozen Yogurt and Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Fresh Raspberry
- 1.5 lb Fresh Blueberry
- 4 mL Nature's Flavor Raspberry Flavor Concentrate
- 600 g Organic Rice Syrup
- 800 g Organic Cane Sugar
- 168 g Organic Starch
- 20 g Organic Pectin
- 100 mL Water
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, such as organic cane sugar, starch, and pectin.
- Put the water in the kettle and bring it to a boil.
- Pour the dry mixture into the steaming water and mix until the blend reaches a thick consistency.
- Once the liquid reaches the desired thick consistency, pour the organic rice syrup.
- Pour the raspberry and blueberry and let it cook. Gradually, the raspberry will melt into the liquid mixture, and the blueberry will soften.
- Once the mixture's temperature reaches 185 F, add the Nature’s Flavors Raspberry Flavor Concentrate and combine everything.
- While the mixture is still hot, transfer it over to a clean mason jar.
- Seal it with a lid and flip the mason jar upside down. Let it rest for a while.
- Afterwards, soak the mason jar in a warm water bath and slowly introduce it to cold water.
- Refrigerate after cooling. If stored properly, the variegate will last a year in the fridge.
