It was 70 degrees yesterday! I wore a dress with ankle boots and NO tights. This means that summer can happen in a state that won a snow record. A state that had snow multiple feet high for months. Consider this ice cream me raising the roof to summer beccause I want to serve it as a side dish to pulled pork sandwiches and right with some grilled everything.

You see, this is honey ice cream with cornbread mixed in. And I like to serve it with MORE cornbread and MORE honey and a pinch of salt. I can’t wait for you guys to try this. It’s the honey-est, honey. So if you’re like me and you love cornbread so much that you could eat half a pan home alone, then this is for you. Or maybe if you’re into putting honey on your toast, and biscuits, then this is for you. Let’s bring it to a BBQ because, oh man, it’s supposed to be 77 today!

  1. Hey, I was just looking at this recipe again because I’m going to make it today, but could you clarify how much sugar is meant to be in the ice cream? I think 2 TBSP makes more sense than 2 cups but it’s kind of ambiguous.
