Strawberry Red Wine And Star Anise Icecream Recipes

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the berries into the container of a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. Pour into a large bowl, and set aside.
• Heat 1 1/4 cups of the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble at the edge of the pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, remaining 1/4 cup cream, and corn syrup. Gradually pour the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan, and heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Strain custard into the berry puree through a sieve, mix, and refrigerate until chilled.
• Fill an ice cream maker with the mixture, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

CHEF JOHN'S STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place strawberries and sugar in a blender and pulse until pureed; steep for 10 minutes.

• Pour strawberry mixture into the container of an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer ice cream to a sealable container, cover the ice cream with plastic wrap, seal the container, and freeze, 2 hours to overnight.
• Process in an ice cream maker until thick. Immediately transfer to a sealable container, cover with plastic wrap, cover the bowl with a lid and freeze for 2 hours to overnight.

ICE CREAM WITH STRAWBERRIES AND RED WINE

Steps:

• If strawberries are small, cut in half; if large, cut in quarters.
• Combine sugar, red wine, and cinnamon stick in a large skillet; cook over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.
• Add strawberries and pepper; cook until berries soften slightly, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, discard cinnamon stick, and divide berries and sauce among dishes; serve with vanilla ice cream and a sprig of mint, if desired.

STRAWBERRIES IN RED WINE

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice, and toss to coat.
• Add the wine and let macerate for 45 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Spoon berries and wine into wide dessert glasses (or low soup plates). Serve at cool room temperature.

RED WINE-POACHED FRUIT

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Add the pears, cherries, sugar and cornstarch to a large saucepot and mix to coat the fruit. Add the red wine, star anise and salt. Place the saucepot over direct heat, bring the mixture to a boil and cook, simmering, until the wine is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the saucepot from the heat and add the red wine vinegar. Discard the star anise. Let cool slightly.
• Serve by spooning over some vanilla bean ice cream.
• (Alternatively, you can poach the fruit over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)

STRAWBERRY, RED WINE AND STAR ANISE ICECREAM

Steps:

• Make your vanilla ice cream base and keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the ice cream. Have the bowl to your ice cream maker sitting in the freezer over night. To make the strawberry swirl Put the red wine, strawberries, sugar and star anise pods in a non reactive sauce pan and simmer until the strawberries have totally broken down and the red wine has turned into a syrup. Cool this mixture completely. Pour the vanilla base into the ice cream maker and follow the directions on your icecream maker for freezing. When the ice cream is mostly solid pour in the strawberry ripple. Pour the ice cream into a container and finish freezing it solid in the freezer.

STAR ANISE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, bring the milk, heavy cream, star anise, and vanilla bean to a simmer for a few minutes. Turn off, and allow to steep for 10 minutes.
• Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt together, long enough to dissolve the sugar.
• Temper hot liquid into egg mixture. Return all back into saucepan. Over low heat stirring all the while until mixture starts to thicken, strain through chinois. Chill immediately over ice bath.
• Churn in a standard ice cream machine.

OATMEAL WITH ALMONDS AND STRAWBERRY STAR ANISE SAUCE

Steps:

• First, prepare the sauce.
• In a medium saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and crush lightly with a potato masher. Bring to a boil, then simmer over moderate heat until the strawberries lose their bright red color, about 2 minutes. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on the solids to extract as much of the juice as possible; set aside.
• To prepare the oatmeal, heat the water in a medium saucepan until almost boiling. Stir in the oats and break up any lumps that begin to form. Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer until all the water is absorbed. Give the oatmeal a good stir and pour into individual bowls.
• Top each serving of oatmeal with some of the sauce (you can swirl it through decoratively if you like) and top with a portion of the almonds. Serve immediately.

STAR ANISE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan combine the milk, the cream, the sugar, and the star anise, bring the mixture just to a boil, and remove the pan from the heat.
• In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks, add the cream mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the mixture back into the pan.
• Cook the custard over moderately low heat, stirring, until it registers 170ºF on a candy thermometer, strain it through a fine sieve set over another bowl, and let it cool completely.
• Stir in the Pernod and freeze the custard in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the strawberries in a food processor or blender. Whizz to a purée, then add the lemon juice to taste - if the strawberries are quite tart you'll only need a little.
• Warm the cream and milk in a pan until just steaming, not boiling. Whisk the sugar and egg yolks in a bowl for a minute or two until pale yellow. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the eggs, whisking as you do. Once fully incorporated, strain through a sieve back into the pan. Gently cook over a low-medium heat until it thickens slightly - it should coat the back of your spoon and leave a channel if you run your finger through it (this will happen at about 82-85C). Be careful not to overcook it as the eggs will scramble. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and cool for 10 mins, then chill for 1 hr.
• Stir the strawberry purée and vanilla through the cold custard. Taste to see if it needs a little more lemon or vanilla.
• Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream maker, or container in the freezer. If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze for 4 hrs, whisking vigorously or blending in a food processor every hour to remove any ice crystals. Will keep in the freezer for up to two months.
