Hello Matthew, Your idea has been logged into our Random Genius Ideas Database. If we decide to use it, you'll be hearing from us. >Idea Type: Flavor >Idea Name: Sun-Dried Tomato Swirl >Description: >Ben &/or Jerry~ >Take your basic ice cream and mix it with tomato juice (no salt added). >Add until the redness is fairly intense (darker than strawberry, probably >closer to cherry). Mix in sun-dried tomatoes. > >The only problem with this concoction is that the tomatoes may be too >chewy in relation to the ice cream. A suggestion could be to chop them up >into smaller pieces, akin to chocolate chips. This way, they can be chewed >with little effort or discomfort. Nevertheless, there should be a heavy >saturation of sun-dried tomato pieces. > >Maybe add a pinch of lemon juice to the mix, but just enough to liven up >the flavor. The ice cream mixture will now look much like cherry ice >cream, but should be a shade darker. > >I'm not sure about the compatibility of traditional seasonings such as >basil, oregano, or parmesean cheese, but I trust your taste-testers can >find a combination that compliments the cream. Thanks for considering my >suggestion. >~Matt > Thanks again for your idea. Consumer Assistance Ben & Jerry's
