Recipe: Turmeric Ice Cream
Recipe Type: Dessert
Author: Tea
Prep time: 9 hours
Cook time: 1 hour 15 mins
Total time: 10 hours 15 mins
Serves: 4-10
This ice cream is a spicy, smoky alternative to plain vanilla
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup half & half
  • about 1 oz whole or large chunks of turmeric root
  • 4 pods whole black cardamom
  • 1/2 Tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
  1. Stir egg yolks and sugar together until frothy and yellow
  2. Bring milk, half and half to boil slowly with turmeric, cardamom and vanilla
  3. Pour hot milk into egg mixture very slowly, in 1/3 cup increments, whisking well to temper the egg mixture
  4. Once 2/3 of the milk has been added to the eggs, pour the milk and egg mixture back into the pot and whisk well
  5. Put the pot back over medium heat. Stir intermittently to keep the mixture from sticking to the pot and burning
  6. Once the mixture begins to thicken to a consistency like pudding, remove it from heat
  7. Remove cardamom pods and turmeric root
  8. Refrigerate for four hours or overnight.
  9. Add cream to mixture and stir well.
  10. Put mixture in your ice cream freezer and follow the instructions for your ice cream freezer
  11. Remove when ice cream reaches the desired consistency. Freeze for two hours or overnight before serving
  12. Eat it all up!
Notes

Black cardamom is smokier than most cardamom. You can substitute white or green cardamom but the flavor will be slightly different.

Most of the prep time involves having the ice cream mixture in the fridge or freezer. Most of the cooking time involves having the ice cream in the ice cream freezer. The active time for this recipe is about 25 minutes.

You can vary the quantities of milk, half and half, and cream– it should come out to 3 1/2 cups total, but you may like a different texture better. Use more cream and less milk for thicker ice cream, more milk and less cream if you like it lighter.

My mom doesn’t like cherries.

Well, that’s not completely true.  I’ll amend the statement: my mom doesn’t like maraschino cherries. The nearly-fluorescent syrupy sweet things that barely resemble anything that could have ever grown on a tree.

When I was a kid, this was a pretty sweet deal.  Ice cream sundaes?  I got the cherry.  You know, unless my brother got it.  But there was a one in two chance I was getting an extra cherry.

Then I got older, and less excited about cherries, and more excited about boozey things that cherries go in.

So, around November of last year, I started experimenting with making cherries my mom would actually like.

Here’s the resulting recipe.

Pickled Sour Cherries
Recipe Type: Condiment
Author: Tea
Prep time: 45 mins
Cook time: 40 mins
Total time: 1 hour 25 mins
Delicious pickled sour cherries made with sherry
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup sherry vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sweet sherry
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 1 Tb whole peppercorns
  • 2 pods black cardamom
  • 1/2 cup unrefined sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups dried pitted sour cherries
Instructions
  1. Put vinegar, sherry, cinnamon, peppercorns, and cardamom in a small saucepan
  2. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium
  3. Add sugar, stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved
  4. Add cherries. Cook at medium heat for five minutes, then reduce heat to low
  5. Cook over low heat for 30 minutes, until liquid has become thick and syrupy and cherries are partially reconstituted.
Notes

You can replace the sherry with other liquor, like whiskey, brandy, port, or rum.
Cherries will keep in the fridge for a long time. You can also jar them in sealed jars like other pickles.
