CUSTARD

pinch sea salt

cup pecans raw

/ cup macadamia nuts raw

/ teaspoon vanilla extract

tablespoon ginger juice fresh

(squeezed from fresh grated ginger root)

(if you really love ginger you may like

to use twice as much as this)

/ cups white grape juice

cup water

/ cup maple syrup

/ cup brown rice syrup

/ cup Sucanat sugar

(

or granulated sugar)

teaspoon lecithin

GARNISH

tablespoon crystallized ginger

Blend all custard ingredients (except vanilla and ginger juice) at a very high speed until nuts are completely pureed

(not gritty) and mixture is smooth

Part way through the blending turn off the machine and use a spatula along the sides of the blender to dislodge

any nuts or other ingredients that might be clinging to the inside walls This should reduce the number of

unblended bits in the final custard mixture

Total time for blending should be about minutes at high speed or longer for blenders that blend at lower speeds

Transfer mixture to a sauce pan and heat over medium heat to thicken custard Mix frequently with a wire whisk

Heat at low simmer for about minutes Mix in vanilla extract and ginger juice

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold If the mixture is too warm some ice cream makers

will not be able to fully freeze the mixture Therefore in general it is recommended that the mixture be

refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker

When freezing the custard in an ice cream maker follow the manufacturer's direction for freezing In general

freezing takes approximately minutes but this will vary depending upon the machine ingredients and

temperature of the mixture

If you do not have an ice cream maker start with the refrigerated mixture and pour into a large rectangular pan

freeze until solid (but not hard) and blend again Freeze in a regular bowl Remove from freezer about

minutes before serving

Garnish individual servings with crystallized ginger Makes about cups
