Work In Progress - coconut ice

Not really happy yet. Taste is good but it seems too crumbly and the colour is def wrong. Whatever happened to cochineal? Looked up cochineal in the dictionary and it says "dried bodies of female insect reared on cactus in Mexico etc., used for making a scarlet dye". Who'll stock that these days?

St Andrew's Day passed in a blur of the kind of rain I'm more used to in Scotland than here in London.

Been looking through this old recipe book. Coconut Ice might be a good addition to our range of one.
