I love asking my parents for their opinion of our flavors. If I give my Mom a taste and she likes it, she'll go on about how impressed she is and then she'll send me an email about it later that night. If she doesn't like it, she'll always find a kind way to break it to me: "it wasn't my favorite." My Dad almost always gives his "this is great!" in his over-enthusiastic Dad voice. But when I gave him a bite of this Date Pecan Pie ice cream, he paused for a minute, took another bite, and told me that this was his favorite flavor so far! My Dad approves of my Date (sorry, I had to!)
For the sweet pecans: Cook them in butter and maple syrup (try sprinkling some cinnamon on them, too!) and let them cool in the freezer before churning them with the ice cream.
