Rich, creamy custard ice cream rippled through with tangy raspberry: a summer classic. You don’t even need an ice-cream maker for this, but it does, of course, need a fair bit of freezing time. Eat on its own, with ice cream cones if you can find them, or with shortbread biscuits.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Serves: 8

Ingredients

    •    2 tbsp sugar
    •    1 tbsp white wine vinegar
    •    4 Little Gem lettuces
    •    5 sprigs of fresh mint
    •    100ml chicken or vegetable stock
    •    Salt & pepper

Instruction

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/Gas 4.
2. Put the sugar, vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water in a small pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat.
3. Remove and discard the outer leaves from the lettuces. Cut each lettuce into quarters, place in an ovenproof dish with the mint, stock and sugar/vinegar syrup and season well. Cover and cook in the oven for 20–25 minutes, until the lettuces are tender.
