Ginger Saffron Ice Cream
I know! This combination of flavors sounds amazing doesn’t it?

Orange Honey Saffron Ice Cream
Think vanilla ice cream with the delicate flavors of saffron, the sweetness of honey, and tender bits of orange. A while back I had bought over six jars of honey from a local beekeeper and I had so much honey that it gave me the opportunity to get adventurous with them. I made a few jars of flavored honey. One of the flavors I tried was tangerine flavored honey. To make this flavored honey I submerged tangerine slices along with saffron in a jar of honey. I then let the tangerine and saffron marinate for a few weeks. At the end of four weeks the honey developed a wonderful saffron orange flavor, and here’s the best part! The orange slices themselves had become nice and tender and honey sweet! Continue reading Orange Honey Saffron Ice Cream

When preserving lemons with powdered sugar lemons become deliciously tender and sweet including the rind. These tender lemons are easy to blend into a wonderful sweet lemon sauce.

Another idea is to use this wonderful lemon sauce in an ice cream. The sauce not only adds a fresh sweet lemony flavor it also adds texture to the ice cream. This is is delicious creamy, sweet and tart ice cream with tender lemon pieces. Give it a try! Continue reading Lemon Vanilla Ice Cream
