Method:

1. Put the raisins in a pan, add the rum and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave the mixture to soak.

2. Put the egg yolks, syrup and treacle in a small bowl. Whisk with an electric mixer for 2 to 3 minutes until it has a mousse-like consistency.

3. Pour into the cream and whisk for 3 to 4 minutes until thick. Pour the mixture into a large roasting tin and freeze for 1 hour, or until it begins to harden around the edges.

4. Add the soaked fruit and any remaining liquid to the ice-cream and mix well. Put back in the freezer for 45 minutes. Spoon into a sealable container and freeze for at least 2 1/2 hours.
