More so than most recipes, good quality ice cream is only as good as the ingredients used to make it; cut corners and it will be sub-par. Use fresh whole cow’s milk, free-range eggs, and real vanilla bean, and you’ll taste the difference. I urge you to use honey made locally in your area; the proven health benefit is only one of the reasons it makes sense. Sun Jewel melons can be hard to find; feel free to substitute any melon such as honeydew or cantaloupe. All melons are not created equal and it goes without saying that any fruit that is the focus of ice cream must be especially ripe and sweet.
