Ingredients
1 quart raspberries
1/3 cup raspberry honey(or any honey will do)
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup half and half
1 tsp lemon juice
1- 1 ½ cups sugar(depending on how sweet your berries are)
3 egg yolks
¼ tsp salt
Instructions
In a bowl, add the yolks, sugar and honey and whisk together- set
aside. Using a double boiler over medium-low heat, add the half and
half, cream, raspberries and salt. (Again, I used a saucepan and it
worked well.) Whisk regularly the mixture, heating until the
temperature reaches about 145F. The mixture should begin to turn purple.
Once the cream mixture has reached the desired temperature, slowly add
about half of the mixture to the eggs and sugar while whisking
vigorously. This will prevent the eggs from curdling. Once the eggs and
cream have been thoroughly integrated, pour the egg mix back into the
remaining cream.
Whisk constantly and slowly as the mix rises in temperature. Once
the temperature reaches 165-170F — or when the mix evenly coats the
back of a spoon — remove from heat and add the lemon juice. Whisk them
in completely and run through a sieve (if you wish) to remove any
raspberries seeds. Move to a new container to cool. The mix can be
placed in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours or, preferably, into the
refrigerator overnight.
Churn according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. After churning,
place in freezer to firm up. I recommend placing a seal of plastic wrap
tightly against the ice cream after making it to prevent a skin from
forming on the ice cream’s surface. (I didn’t do this and it turned out
but I have heard this method is common.) Serve once firm enough.
