Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I wanted this to taste like fire and ice – the frozen sorbet and the hot eau de vie.
250g/8oz caster sugar
500ml/17fl oz water
1 vanilla pod, split in half lengthwise
6 apples, I like cox or pippin
A small pinch of ground cinnamon
8 organic free-range egg whites
A pinch of sea salt
2tbsp apple eau de vie (fruit brandy)
Make sugar syrup by placing the sugar, water and vanilla pod in a heavy-based pan and stir a couple of times over a low heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up a little and bring to a simmer.
Peel and core the apples, chop roughly and add to the syrup. Cook for five minutes or until the apples are tender. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Once cooled, remove the apples with a slotted spoon and place in a food processor with two tablespoons of the syrup and a pinch of cinnamon. Purée until pale and smooth and set aside. Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Fold into the apple purée until combined. Pour into an ice-cream maker and follow the instructions. Once the ice cream has begun to set pour the eau de vie on top.
