If you happen to find yourself with a plum tree that ripens 50 pounds of fruit at once, you find yourself making plum cake, plum jam, even plum wine. But one of the best experiments turned out to be this ice cream.
Plum Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 pound ripe plums, pits removed
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Remove pits from fully ripe fresh plums.
- Purée plums in a blender or food processor until smooth and no skins visible.
- Cook plum purée on the stove 5 minutes on medium heat until the color changes and it thickens slightly, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl.
- Add the cooked plums, condensed milk, and lemon juice and mix well with a spatula.
- Transfer to a 1.5 liter container and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the film to the surface to eliminate all air.
