NOTES<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Place ice cream bowl overnight in the freezer.<\/li>\n
  2. If you don\u2019t have an ice cream maker, stir mixture once an hour and place it to the freezer, until you have a fluffy ice cream. For better result you should use a mixer (hand or stand), so you have a soft airy ice cream.<\/li>\n
  3. I always store mastic in the refrigerator.<\/li>\n
  4. Salep (or sahlep or sahlab) is flour made from the bulbs of some species of orchid family. You usually find it in Turkish recipes. Salep works in the recipe as a thickening agent but gives also to the ice cream the elasticity of kaimaki cream.<\/li>\n
  5. Mastic trees are only cultivated in Greece, island of Chios. Mastic is a resin, with a very specific flavor and aroma. It gives this chewy texture to the cream.<\/li>\n
  6. Aromatic spices like those above may be available to Greek, Turkish or any oriental markets.<\/li>\n
  7. Kaimaki ice cream is a smoother variation of Turkish \u201cdondurma\u201d ice cream.<\/li>\n
  8. In case you pit the cherries, put on gloves, to avoid coloring your hands.<\/li>\n
  9. If you don’t have a cherry pitter, try removing the pits using the back side of a hairpin. Just push it inside half way through, give it a swirl to detach the pit and use the pin to pull it out.<\/li>\n
  10. For the jar sterilization, preheat the oven to 100\u00b0C, wash the jars and lids thoroughly in hot soapy water and rinse but don\u2019t dry them. Place the jars onto a baking tray and into the oven for 10 minutes. Place the lids 1 minute before sterilization ends. Remove jars and fill immediately with the spoon sweet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
