Yummy! However, the juxtaposition of chocolate ice cream and spinach in the Recent Threads menu is a bit overwhelming.

Agreed!
BUT, it is in keeping with, and in deference to, the "Foods of the Day/Month" for July!

Arrowroot used to make ice cream,is that the norm?

 

[Albert Sailhorst]

From the various recipes I read, Arrowroot does seem to be a common ingredient.....

 

[donna]

Thanks for ice cream recipes. So appropriate for the "good old summertime".

I wasn't sure of the use of arrowroot so I looked up what it is used for.it is a South American starch that is used as a thickening agent for sauces and gravies and anything else.now I know why we do not have any as it would be a duplication of other starches that we already have.

A definition of Arrowroot from Godey's Glossary of "Civil war Recipes"

"Arrowroot: A light starch used in puddings, pie fillings, and dessert mixtures. It is made from the rootstock of a tropical plant that was first grown in the West Indies and is now cultivated in nearly all tropical countries."

An interesting site on history and description of arrowroot is at:

Does anyone remember Nabisco's Arrowroot Cookies for Babies? I know my Mom bought them for me. I haven't seen them in my grocery. Just wondering. They were good for teething babies.

When I was with Albertson's we did not carry them,mainly and it is probably the reason Nabisco stopped making them is that they had a very short shelf life.you can get arrowroot cookies at most health stores as Gerber's makes them.
