The DUST Team Quarterly Craft Swap is a wonderful opportunity to share handmade goodies with your team members. The January - March Swap for 2014 recently finished and I can now share with you the handmade goodness we exchanged. It was a tri-way swap this time, there were three participants so we each received and sent two gifts each. I wrapped up two pretty parcels to send out, one to Wilma of Empress Wu and one to Meggan of Art Nomadix.
and the photo album I sent to Meggan of Art Nomadix.
And if you give you also receive and I admit I was so spoilt by these two DUSTy Divas. Here is the parcel I received from Wilma
The Olive Tree I was given for a milestone birthday has produced a real abundance of fruit this year, and for the first time we may have enough to preserve. I just have to find a recipe now! It's all very exciting. I really hope we get it right and have delicious olives to eat in a few weeks/months time!
Cherry Coconut Cacao Icecream
So we got an icecream machine. Not a top of the range model, but one that will get the job done. And she is a bright cheery Sunshine Yellow. I try not to eat a lot of dairy as it doesn't agree with me so much, so I tried this "ice-cream" recipe made from coconut cream. Here is how I did it!
Ingredients:
2 x 440ml cans Coconut Cream
Morello Cherries to taste (as many or as few as you like)
Maple Syrup to taste (approx 1/4 cup)
Cacao powder to taste (blend into maple syrup as it will mix more easily)
1 Cup Water
Method:
1. Put ingredients into ice-cream machine and churn until a sorbet/icecream consistency. Enjoy.
Note: you can also put ingredients into a food processor and blend, freeze, blend, freeze etc until same consistency is achieved.
Well lovely readers, that wraps up Craft Swaps, Home Grown Olives and Cherry Coconut Cacao Icecream. See you all tomorrow for a new Wednesday Wishes Blog Post xo♥
