Do not use smoky pine nuts in this recipe For more information refer the pine nut listing

in the "Glossary of Ingredients" (at the beginning of this book)

cups white grape juice

medium star anise

teaspoon lecithin

pinch sea salt

CUSTARD

/ cups pine nuts raw

cup almonds blanched raw

if you don't have blanched almonds

use / cup almonds with their skins but

there will be small brown flecks in the

resulting ice cream)

/ cup lemon juice

tablespoon lemon peel slivered

(need about to lemons for above

peel and juice)

(

teaspoon lemon extract

GARNISH

/ cup brown rice syrup

teaspoon lemon zest

(from half a lemon)

lemon wheels thinly sliced

/ cup light agave nectar syrup (or maple syrup)

/ cup organic light granulated sugar

In a small sauce pan simmer the grape juice and star anise for minutes Cover the sauce pan if possible Strain

out the star anise and measure out about / cups of the grape juice If you have less than / cups after the

simmering use water to make a total of / cups (If you don't want to spend time on this step or do not want a

subtle star anise flavor in your ice cream simply use / cups of white grape juice below)

Blend all custard ingredients including the / cups of white grape juice from above (but not the lemon juice

lemon extract and lemon peel) 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 lemon juice lemon extract and lemon peel (This step can be

skipped on this ice cream but heating does improve the texture by helping the liquids and the fats to better

integrate)
