    To make the ice cream, heat the milk, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan until the sugar has just dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then stir in the lemon rind and granadilla pulp.

    2

    Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then stir through the granadilla mixture. Freeze for 1 hour, then remove and mix with a fork. Freeze again for an hour, stir again with a fork, then allow to freeze completely.

    3

    Preheat the oven to 180°C.

    4

    For the pudding, beat the sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy. Stir in the jam.

    5

    Mix together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt.

    6

    Melt the butter in the vinegar and add to the milk.

    Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, then fold in the milk mixture. Pour into a 1,5-litre capacity oven-proof dish and bake for about 45 minutes.

    To make the sauce, melt together all the ingredients in a saucepan. Pour the sauce over the pudding as it comes out of the oven and serve with the ice cream.
