Rich Pear Sorbet

4-6 pears ¾ cup water 2 Tbsp maple syrup ½ tsp ground cardamom

Before chopping the pears, remove wax from the skin by dipping the pears in hot water for about 30 seconds and scrubbing them with a clean, rough cloth. The color of the skin may change, but it doesn't damage the texture or flavor.

Chop the pears into small pieces, removing the core, until you have 6 cups.

Bring to a boil over high heat the pear, water, and maple syrup. Reduce heat to medium and boil, covered, until pears are completely soft.

Add the cardamom. If most of the water has boiled off, add another ½ cup. Puree the mixture in a blender until completely smooth. Transfer to another container and chill out completely.

Once it is cold, process it in an ice cream machine according to the machine's instructions.

Rhubarb Crumble

1 ½ lbs rhubarb, chopped into ½ in pieces ¼ cup honey 1 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp cornstarch

For the crumble topping: 1 ½ cup flour 6 Tbsp butter, cold and diced 3 Tbsp brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Heat the rhubarb in a pan on medium to medium low with the honey, 1 Tbsp butter, and cornstarch for about 5 minutes, until the rhubarb is glossy and everything has melted together. Transfer to an 8 ½” pie tin or square baking dish.

To make the crumble topping, place the flour and brown sugar in a bowl and rub in the butter until it is thoroughly combined, with a texture like soft crumbs.

Spread evenly over the fruit. Bake 35-45 minutes.

Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream

3 cups strawberries, leaves removed & cut in half 2 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp sugar 1 ¾ cup (14 oz) coconut milk

Cook the honey, sugar, and strawberries over medium-high heat until thickened and mushy. Mash the strawberries, or puree them if you desire a smooth consistency. Chill until completely cold.

In a large bowl, stir together the strawberry mixture with the coconut milk. If the coconut milk has separated, beat it until it's homogenous, before adding the strawberries. Beat the ingredients together until smooth.

Churn according to the directions of your ice cream machine.

Strawberry & Pear Flan

2 cups pears, chopped, with core removed 1 cup strawberries, chopped with leaves removed 2 Tbsp butter ¼ cup cream ¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt 4 eggs ½ tsp salt ½ tsp ground allspice ½ tsp ground ginger 2 Tbsp honey

Preheat the oven to 325° F. Grease the bottom and sides of a large pie tin with 2 Tbsp soft butter.

Cook the pears in enough water to cover, over medium heat, until they are soft enough to easily pierce with a fork. Strain the fruit and put in a blender with all the other ingredients. Blend the ingredients very thoroughly, so that it is completely smooth.

Pour it into the pie tin. Bake for 60 minutes. Chill before serving.

Apple Sherbet

2 cups apple juice ¼ cup lemon juice 2 Tbsp honey ½ cup milk ½ cup cream

I prefer to make apple juice with my juicer, but store-bought is fine. Stir together all ingredients. Chill in the fridge until it is completely cold. Churn in ice cream machine for 20 minutes, then transfer to a container and freeze until hard.

Rocky Road to Dublin Ice Cream

1 mint teabag (1 Tbsp dried mint leaves) 1 ¾ cup (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk ½ cup cocoa powder 2 cups cream 1 cup milk 1 Tbsp vanilla extract ½ cup chopped nuts 1 cup multi-colored mini marshmallows

Heat the cream in a small pan over high heat until it is steaming. Add in the mint teabag. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 1 hour. Remove teabag and chill completely.

In a small pan over low heat, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder for about 5 minutes, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in the cream, milk, and vanilla. Chill completely.

Churn in an ice cream machine according to its directions. Add the chopped nuts and marshmallows at the end, churning for about 5 more minutes to mix them in. For my machine, the bowl needs to be completely frozen. Churn for 15 minutes, then 5 more minutes with the nuts and marshmallows.

Can be served soft, or transferred to an airtight container to be frozen.
