Happy October! Even though autumn started nine days ago, now’s the time when it really starts feeling like fall. The leaves have started changing colors here in Lancaster County and the weather has taken a brisk turn (mid-60s and cloudy today). By the way, the photo above is a caramel pumpking pie with mince meat ice cream. Yes, mincemeat ice cream. We’re not sure what type of mincemeat is in there. Is it the “chopped fruit and spices” kind, or the kind with chopped fruit, spice and bits of meat? Hmmmm…


If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
