Rhubarb Gelato

By
I had a few stalks of rhubarb in my fridge and some gorgeous, fresh eggs that my husband got from the owners of the house he's been working on; I thought to myself: what a perfect weekend to whip up a batch of gelato!

So, I dusted off my sorbetiere and stuck it in the freezer for the requisite 24 hours to make sure that that magic gel inside is completely solid.










Step one: Make a rhubarb compote
Trim and thinly slice rhubarb. I ended up with about 8 cups. Stick it in a large flat-bottom pan and cook with 1 C organic, granulated sugar until you have a compote. Place this in the fridge and let cool for several hours, or overnight.

Step two: Make a custard
In a stainless steel bowl over a pot of simmering water, whisk together 4 egg yolks, 1/2 C organic granulated sugar, 2 C heavy cream, and 1 C milk. Cook in the double-boiler until a custard forms. The mixture should coat the back of your spoon. Place this in the fridge and let cool for several hours, or overnight.

Step three: Churn
Use your ice cream maker as instructed. I ended up churning mine for about 40 minutes till I got a nice, gelato texture.

Step four: Enjoy!
Eat as is, or freeze for a more ice cream-like texture.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
