Rhubarb Ice Cream Launches As Yorkshire Producers Come Together




Huddersfield ice cream producer Yummy Yorkshire has joined forces with fellow Yorkshire business, E Oldroyd & Sons Ltd, to launch a new rhubarb flavoured ice cream as part of its commitment to buy and champion Yorkshire produce.

The new 'Rhubarb Pannacotta' ice cream flavour is made using Timperley Early rhubarb, grown by Leeds based E Olyroyds & Sons, who are also known as the 'champion of forced rhubarb producers' and are listed as a Rick Stein Food Hero Producer.

 The rhubarb, which is one of the most popular and earliest commercial varieties, is stewed by hand and then rippled throughout a pannacotta base ice cream made using the milk and cream from Yummy Yorkshire's 150 strong Holstein herd at its farm near Denby Dale. The result is a rich, creamy, pannacotta-flavoured ice cream with a tangy, clean aftertaste.

A second ice cream flavour, 'Rhubarb Rhubarb', which was debuted last year, has also been re-launched for the rhubarb season. The flavour provides a double hit of rhubarb, consisting of a blend of rich rhubarb ice cream with extra ripple of beautiful pink cooked Oldroyd's rhubarb throughout.

Both flavours have gone on sale at Yummy Yorkshire's ice cream parlour and are also available for restaurants, delis, farm shops and independent retailers to order.

Louise Holmes, who co-founded Yummy Yorkshire with her husband Jeremy in 2007, is responsible for the creation of new flavours. She said: "E Oldroyd & Sons produce some of the best rhubarb I have ever tasted and with them being located on our doorstep in the Wakefield Rhubarb Triangle they were the only company we seriously considered using. We're delighted to be working in partnership with such a renowned Yorkshire producer."

Janet Oldroyd Hulme, the fourth generation of the Oldroyd family to produce rhubarb, is known by the media as the 'High Priestess of Rhubarb' and agreed to let Yummy Yorkshire use the Oldroyd's brand to name the ice cream in recognition of the premium quality of the rhubarb used.

Speaking about the flavour, she says: "Forced rather than outdoor grown rhubarb always results in a superior flavour and quality to any product it is incorporated into. I am delighted to be associated with Yummy Yorkshire Ice cream who are known for their delicious ice cream.

"The use of forced rhubarb in an ice cream has been long overdue and I am delighted that this renowned Yorkshire company is doing so. A true Yorkshire product."

The Yummy Yorkshire ice cream parlour is located south of Huddersfield on the A629 between High Flatts and Ingbirchworth. For further information and directions visit www.yummyyorkshire.co.uk

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then...
