Spiked Cider Sauce
This tart sauce can be made with supermarket cider – you don’t need to purchase the expensive stuff from the farmer’s market. I’ve even had good results using already spiced cider (in that case I didn’t add additional the spices called for in this recipe). Pour this sauce over ice cream or dunk with something […]
Countdown to Christmas – Eggnog Ice Cream
Trust me, dumping a quart of supermarket eggnog into your ice cream maker will not work well! This simple recipe is great over gingerbread or with a buttery caramel sauce. You can find the recipe here. Enjoy!
Eggnog Ice Cream
It’s super trendy to use freshly grated nutmeg, but I think this recipe is just as good with the pre-ground stuff. Just be sure to taste and adjust your spice level before putting your ice cream in the freezer. I think homemade ice cream tastes best the same day it’s made. I try to make […]
Persimmon Ice Cream
I love the color of this ice cream, and the taste is subtly spicy. You can use either ripe or over-ripe Fuyu persimmons. This recipe would also work nicely with ripe Hachiya persimmons. For this recipe you’ll need: 4 or 5 Fuyu persimmons 2 eggs (pasteurized if you can find them) 2 cups heavy cream […]
Persimmon Caramel Sauce with Bourbon
For best results, use overly ripe Fuyu persimmons in this sauce or use Hachiya persimmons. The more liquidy the better. This sauce is amazing served warm over ice cream. For this recipe you’ll need: 1 pound persimmons 1/3 cup cream 3 tablespoons butter 3/4 cup brown sugar pinch of salt 1 tablespoon bourbon Cut the […]
Persimmon and Pomegranate Upside Down Cake
The year we are a bit overwhelmed with the size of our persimmon harvest! And the pomegranate tree has been quite plentiful too. I created this cake to help use up some of the fruit. Use a light touch when adding the spices. The cake is delicate and a little spice goes a long way. […]
Warm Persimmon Compote
This warm, sweet sauce is great with pancakes or french toast. The lightly cooked persimmon tastes like apricot and apple. Yum! For this recipe you’ll need: 1 pound Fuyu persimmons juice of 1 lemon (don’t forget to save the peel for limoncello!) 3 tablespoons or more honey 2 pinches of cinnamon pinch of nutmeg pinch […]
Scotch Custard
This yummy baked custard uses real scotch. I like to use a strongly flavored scotch for maximum impact. For 6 servings you’ll need: 2 1/2 cups heavy cream 1/3 cup dark brown sugar 5 egg yolks pinch salt 1-2 tablespoons scotch 1 teaspoon sugar The custards will bake in a water bath so start boiling […]
Butterscotch Ice Cream with Real Scotch
“What butter and whiskey won’t cure, there is no cure for.” For this recipe, you’ll need: 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup whole milk 3/4 cup dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons butter pinch salt 1/3 cup pasteurized liquid egg whites – I use the kind that come in a carton. Make sure the only ingredient […]
