Ice cream "Mint Tomatoes"

Ice cream "Mint Tomatoes"

Category: Vegetable and fruit dishes

Ingredients
tomato juice	200 ml
cream 20 or 30%	200 ml
fresh mint (I have half with dried)	1 bundle
fleshy tomato	1 PC

Cooking method

• Remember, earlier, in Soviet times, tomato ice cream was sold and it cost 10 kopecks. Not everyone has tried it (including me!), Because earlier ice cream was associated only with a sweet dessert. But now ... it's different!
• What we do not invent, what taste experiments we do not carry out. So I decided to make my own tomato ice cream, but mine will be with my favorite flavor of mint tomatoes. Tomatoes were once a fruit. And if you imagine their sweet southern varieties, then it is quite possible to imagine the taste of tomato ice cream.
• You can serve this ice cream for breakfast, lunch or dinner along with pickled cheese, for example, "Feta". Even better with mozzarella. And you get your own mint Caprese salad!
• Finely chop the mint. You can, like me, until fresh ripe, use dried. It must first be soaked in a small amount of juice.
• Cut the tomato into small cubes.
• Next, mix the mint with tomato juice, cream and tomato. Add salt, sugar to taste and send it to the freezer or ice cream maker.
• If you cook in the freezer, then every 30 minutes, while the freezing process takes place (2 hours), you need to stir our mixture until it becomes real ice cream.
• When the ice cream is ready, you can serve it right away, garnished with mint. If we use it as a snack, then we add any pickled cheese and tomatoes to it. You can add olives and your favorite greens like basil, arugula or salad.
• 
• Mint tomato ice cream has a very refreshing and pleasant taste. Try it!
• Enjoy your summer vacation!

Note

Mint-tomato ice cream in the heat is a great alternative to tomato juice.

And I ate tomato ice cream in those days. Recently. somehow I even remembered about him and thought what to try to do. Thanks for the recipe. With mint, I think. even cooler!

In Soviet times, I never crossed paths with tomato ice cream. But in those days I would hardly have agreed to try, which cannot be said about the present times. And this despite the fact that I do not really like ice cream.
And the tomato, by the way, has always been a berry.

Thanks for the recipe. With mint, I think. even cooler!

Very tasty for me! The combination of mint and tomatoes is simply magical. Angela, thanks for stopping by the ice cream. If you remembered him recently, then you need to cook. And what kind of tomatoes you grow - sugar m-mmm.

Olya, thanks for the tip - try for good health and to quench your thirst. You can eat tomato-mint ice cream instead of tomato juice in the heat.

And the tomato, by the way, has always been a berry.

Olya, I don’t want to delve into the age-old dispute between botanists, vegetable growers and consumers in the ice cream recipe. For the first, the tomato has always been a fruit (fruit), despite the fact that it has long been transferred to a different status. In 2001. The European Union has again returned the status of a tomato to a fruit, and only recently it has begun to be considered a berry again.

Is a tomato a vegetable, fruit or berry?
For a long time, there have been disputes between people about how to properly call a tomato a vegetable, or a berry? To dispel the controversy, let's figure out what a tomato is.

So, the difference between scientific and everyday (culinary) ideas about fruits, berries, fruits, vegetables in the case of tomato (as well as some other plants, such as cucumbers) leads to confusion. Tomatoes - the fruits of a tomato - from the point of view of botany - multi-nested paracarp berries. In English, there is no difference between the terms fruit and fruit. In 1893, the US Supreme Court unanimously ruled that although botanists consider tomatoes to be fruits (i.e., fruits), tomatoes should be considered vegetables when collecting customs duties. It is not known whether the decision of the judges was influenced by the then law, according to which vegetables were subject to customs duties, and fruits could be imported free of charge. In 2001, the European Union decided that tomatoes are not vegetables, but fruits. In the Russian agricultural literature of past editions, as in everyday language, tomatoes (fruits of tomatoes) are considered vegetables.

To date, the tomato has returned to the status of a berry and is described in many books that way. Thus, the correct definition of a tomato is a berry, and what is more convenient to call it is everyone's choice.

Olya, I don't want to delve into the age-old dispute in the ice cream recipe ...

And we will not.

Marin didn’t even know that this was the case in Soviet times, I had to ask my parents .... an interesting option!

I just feel so old))) I remember tomato ice cream for 10 kopecks. I loved him very much. Does this ice cream taste like that?

[Natasha, Evgeniya]

you need to ask your parents .... an interesting option!

Perhaps they tried tomato ... Although, as I said, not everyone dared. In addition, it was sold in small quantities (due to not very high demand).

I loved him very much. Does this ice cream taste like that?

It is unlikely that my ice cream will look like ... If only the presence of tomatoes. There was definitely no mint in Soviet ice cream. This is my improvisation - I like tomatoes stewed with mint. If you loved that - Soviet tomato, I hope you will like it too.
Natasha, EvgeniyaThanks for your interest in the recipe!

[Marina]

Marina! Very interesting recipe, thanks! , Definitely bookmark!

[MariS]

MariS, Marina, do you remember him !!! Finally! I tell someone that there was such an unusual and tasty tomato ice cream - no one believes me, I myself began to doubt ... but whether it was ... but it was, it was !! Thank you, I will definitely try to do it.

Marinochka, I don't remember the taste, but the ice cream is familiar. I will gladly rediscover for myself. Thanks for the recipe and description.

[Anastasia, Ksyusha, Irisha]

Anastasia, Ksyusha, Irishathank you girls!

I myself began to doubt ... but whether it was ... but it was,

It was, it was Ksyusha! Don `t doubt. What an innovation there was back in those years!
Try it on occasion, maybe you will like the mint-tomato too.

Girls! I am still shocked by your memories of tomato ice cream! I've never met this! Here is the onion - yes, I even had a chance to try it.

[Nastya]

I've never met this! Here is the onion - yes, I even had a chance to try.

And onion is interesting! Must be sweet ... must try, thanks Nastya!

[Tricia]

Tricia, I didn't quite understand by the face of the smiley, whether it was sweet (onion) or spicy.

[Marisha]

Oh, what a tempting recipe!
Although I was born with mammoths, I cannot boast that I ate that, old, tomato ice cream ... Probably, it was simply not produced in our area.
And your, Marisha, the recipe is so interesting! It is difficult to pass by and, at least, not to stare at the pictures!

[Irish]

Probably, in our area it was simply not produced.

Irish, I think, and you produced it ... only, as elsewhere, in small quantities - for an amateur, after all.

Although I was born with mammoths,

Uraaa, a relative was found !!!

[MariS]

MariS, Marina, Premier, Olya! The ice cream was with a light, almost imperceptible bitterness, as I now understand from fresh salad non-bitter onions. Over the years, I almost don't remember the taste, but I remember the crackle of a torn template. What ice cream, and not very sweet, and onion! And sold from the tray in balls in cups among all kinds of fruit!

That’s what they didn’t make of tomatoes, and now we will also have ice cream. Mom will be surprised at what the harvest went to.

Mom will be surprised at what the harvest went to.

I can imagine my mother's reaction.
Maybe the whole crop shouldn't be put on ice cream? Although, why not - it is safer to store frozen.
