Candied ginger peach sherbet

Ginger Peach Sherbet

Now that we’ve moved into our new digs, there are nights when we just have to drive 25 minutes and have to wait another 25 minutes in line @ our favorite ice cream joint just to get a scoop of whoknowswhat. The menu changes each time we go, but it always, ALWAYS hits the spot. One reason my husband and I are together is because he also finds it totally normal that when the sign says, “please limit yourself to 2-3 tastings each,” we both pick our favorite three and share. Why would you want a full taste of three unique flavors when you could have SIX half-tastes? The same principle applies whenever we eat out.

Beyond the brilliant why-didn’t-I-think-of-that menu options, the reason Ici has become our go-to spot is because somehow someway they figured out how to make ice cream melt in your mouth with each smooth bite, without being way too heavy on the cream that you then leave feeling bloated. That time Lucas accidentally ordered two gigantic scoops didn’t leave us with an uggghhh-dairy-hates-me stomach ache. I never regret a scoop.

Thanks to our thoughtful friends Charles & Meredith, we now have our own ice cream maker and can experiment with whimsical flavors whenever we like! This warm summer I’ve oft found myself quoting my favorite band from my cassette tape years: “If I had my little way, I’d eat peaches every day.” (My older brother can go on record to verify that I pretty much only listened to Peaches and Kitty on repeat for a good year of my life). The Presidents of the United States of America didn’t even consider what it’d be like to eat peach ICE CREAM every day. That’s what I’d do if I had my little way. So I set about to make that happen. Ginger peach sherbet, to be precise.

Candied Ginger Peach Sherbet.

Saturday morning we woke up craving ice cream. Yup, you heard that right. We have really healthy cravings at totally normal times. We pulled down the ice cream maker attachment box from the cabinet and Lucas began reading the directions while I dreamed up flavors. Another reason we’re married: he LOVES reading directions while I would rather do basically anything else. So I planned my recipe and he put the attachment bowl in the ice box, “it has to be in the freezer for at least 15 minutes,” he explained.

Yup, got it….wait what? Without wanting to accuse him of lying, but not believing this machine contained magic beans that froze in flash speed, I strolled over to the manual and casually glanced down. Now, normally Lucas doesn’t miss a single detail of instructions – it’s the reason it takes him twice as long to make dinner when following a recipe – but somehow he wishfully turned 15 hours into minutes. Goodluck making ice cream with a par-frozen bowl;) Since we didn’t really get started until after 5pm, this meant we couldn’t eat our ice cream until the next day. We’ve now decided that we’ll store the bowl in the freezer full-time so we’ll never have to wait 15 hours after the mood strikes us. I mean, at that rate, we might as well walk the 8 miles to Ici.

Sweet Ginger Peach Sherbet

I chose sherbet as my first attempt to make “ice cream” because my slightly lactose intolerant tummy loved the idea of using milk instead of heavy cream as the base. As a child I remember always mixing up rainbow “sherbet” with “Shubert’s” Ice Cream – the local ice cream and candy shop my Dad used to take me to on date night as a wee one. And then there’s sorbet…how is one ever supposed to keep them all separate?

Enough about grammar, this sherbet takes some of the season’s juiciest fruit and compliments its sweet nectar with bits of spicy candied ginger and chunks of fresh fruit. It’s light and refreshing with the perfect balance between icy, smooth, and creamy. The only unfortunate part about the whole affair is when our freezer defrosted today and melted our last two scoops into a mushy soup. Guess what we’ll be doing again on Sunday? Come over to our house this summer and there’s bound to be homemade ice cream or sherbet in our freezer (as long as the freezer quits being a punk).

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup

      Yes! Hmmm- if only I could figure out how to make ice cream and transport it still frozen to Napa next weekend. On public transportation. Dry ice is allowed on public transportation, right?? Hehe.

    Hi there! Thanks for this recipe. I’m excited to try it out tonight as my new ice cream maker’s maiden voyage.

    Quick question – at what point should I add the reserved chopped peach? And should I peel that one as well, or leave the skin on?

    Thank you!

      OH! And should I add the chopped candied ginger at the same point I add the reserved peaches?

Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. This cookie marks the shifting of micro-seasons from Holiday Winter to New Year Winter (TM). It's a subtle change, one mostly perceivable in the baked goods coming out of each, but one that I believe should be celebrated with plenty cookies (both before and after the seasonal shift). 
•
So here are are, firmly in the land of backyard citrus, so I’m making all the lemon desserts. These cookies have sturdy crisp edges with a soft and fluffy, but intensely chewy center and a punch of lemon. Get the recipe link in my profile @snixykitchen.

Last year, Zoella (4) peeled and ate a blood orange she’d found in a bush in our side yard when we weren’t looking. We found the sticky peels on the steps and panicked - where did this blood orange come from? Did an animal bring it? Is she going to get sick?! 
•
And that’s how we discovered our neighbors have a blood orange tree. By that point, it had dropped most of its fruit except for a few very high up branches that leaned over our fence. The tree is fruiting and nearly ripe again so I’m hopeful I can barter for a bag of oranges in exchange for some slices of this bundt cake.

We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with t We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with this savory gluten-free dutch baby topped with gruyere, a pile of buttery thyme mushrooms, and garlic wilted Baby Kale. Getting out of our dinner rut feels refreshing! Made in partnership with @plenty, this breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime dish shows off their pesticide-free greens that are vertically farmed right here in the Bay Area. I’ve told you this before and it’s not an exaggeration when I say these are my favorite greens – they somehow taste fresher and more vibrant. 
•
I dropped some of this dutch baby off with my neighbor and, without prompting, she immediately texted, “YOM. I would make this. Greens are hella good.” It’s true. The greens are the star. If you’re in the Bay Area, use the link in my profile to find out where to get them near you!
•
Related big news: Ira (2) voluntarily ate cooked Baby Kale without throwing it on the floor or sneakily moving it to his sister’s plate. Even Ira knows a good thing when he sees it. 
•
For the gluten-free dutch baby recipe, search “almond dutch baby” on snixykitchen.com. Omit the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, and top it with grated gruyere 5 minutes before it’s done. For topping, saute some mixed mushrooms in butter with fresh thyme, and sliced garlic. Then add a few handfuls of Baby Kale and toss just to wilt. Salt & pepper to your heart’s content. If you want the extra flare, add a runny fried egg (eggs on eggs – why not?).

Fun fact: I had to buy these holiday cookie cutters specifically for this post. There was a good couple of years where I only had a hippo cookie cutter and made holiday hippos every year. I still prefer my more eclectic cutters to the traditional ones. What’s your favorite cookie cutter in your collection?

I don’t know about you, but I could use a warm hug right about now. A slice of coffee cake with a ribbon of cinnamon sugar, a pile of streusel, and a vanilla icing drizzle feels like the food equivalent to that.
