One of life's simple pleasures. Real vanilla ice cream and fresh
picked huckleberries. Just two delicious items. Yummmmmm.

Peaches. My family had several acres of peaches back in the day. The soil they were grown in was previously a cow pasture.
I've not seen peaches like those since.
Around here we have Hudsonville Vanilla IceCream as my family's "go-to".

My second choice would be strawberries.

Yep. This summer my girlfriend treated me to homemade vanilla ice cream with fresh homemade blackberry puree/syrup on top.

Sometimes a little sugar falls into the puree to promote the fruit. I've done both.

I really like blackberries & raspberries in a cofit for vanilla ice cream
. Great combinations.

Due to excessive Peach schnapp use by my friends in 1980's, I don't care for Peach that much. However, in vanilla ice cream, it is very good.

I just watched this video yesterday. I recall many of them, but as a 7 year old, was told they were poisonous. Now, they look interesting to try.

A couple of weekends ago I was treated to a blueberry tart with a few scoops of vanilla ice cream on top. It was exceptional.

I know some folks who are making and selling it for $16 per quart and can't keep up with the demand.

No sugar added. She blended the berries, then strained it, then cooked it down a little. May have added some lemon juice.

Oh yeah! I’ve got some root beer and vanilla ice cream.

Time for a Root Beer float.

Or a real Coca Cola made with real pure cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.
