Ice Cream

Maple ice cream.

I cup maple syrup. And a little more.
1 quart half-n-half
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp or maybe 2 of Sacrilege. (http://www.chow.com/pick/6106)

Mix, chill, machine. Tasting notes afterwards.

Wow. Great ice cream. Eliz called it "Excellent". Z and E both liked it a lot.

If you used real maple syrup you've made a pretty expensive, per serving, blend. I'm not suggesting ersatz, just that homemade can end up costing...

Traditionally people have made maple-walnut. I guess it depends on whether you like the nuts or not.

Last year I bought some "pistachio" only to find out that the nuts were flavored cashews. The food industry is nothing, if not inventive.

There was a cute story in the paper the other day about the first IHOP in VT. The owner wanted to serve real maple syrup and the company allowed him. He serves a portion controlled cup, it's not on the menu, and it costs an extra $1. The quotes from people who never tasted the real thing before were the best part of the story.

Yup, real maple syrup. I'm aware that this is the most expensive ice cream I've ever made.
