Title: GELATO DI MIRTILLE
Categories: Ice cream, Desserts, Italian, Maresca, Darrow
Yield: 8 servings

2/3 c Sugar
4 Egg yolks
1 c Milk; at room temperature
1 pn Salt
1 Lemon peel strip (2-in)
2 c Fresh blueberries; pureed
1 c Heavy cream

BEAT SUGAR AND EGG YOLKS together until pale yellow and very thick.
Slowly add milk, beating gently to avoid a build-up of foam. Add
lemon peel and stir in salt. Transfer mixture to the top of a double
boiler with an inch of boiling water in the bottom half. Regulate
heat so water remains at a low boil, and stir continuously 8 minutes.
Custard will thicken to coat the spoon, and surface foam will
disappear. Immediately remove top of double boiler and set it in a
large bowl of cold water. Stir 2 minutes to cool custard somewhat.
Then transfer it to a bowl, cover, and chill thoroughly. Also chill
pureed blueberries and heavy cream. When ready to proceed, whip cream
into soft peaks. Remove lemon peel from custard and fold in
blueberries and whipped cream. Transfer mixture to ice cream machine
and freeze according to machine’s directions.

Title: Chestnuts
Categories: Chinese, Condiment, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 servings

Text

Still got those chestnuts sitting around? Here’s what Ken Hom has to
say about preparing fresh chestnuts or use in Chinese cooking, along
with a recipe for a braised dish in which they can be used. The
recipe doesn’t specify how many chestnuts to use so use your own
discretion.

"The Chinese use the same Western chestnut with its sweet flavor and
soft, mealy texture in stir fried dishes and stews like Chinese Beef
Stew and in stuffings. Shop for large, dark brown chestnuts in the
fall, when they are in season. Dried chestnuts, once soaked, can be
used like fresh chestnuts.

1. Boil the chestnuts for 30 minutes, shells on.

2. Peel the outer skin first.

3. Peel the inner skin, revealing the golden meat. Chestnuts are
usually used either whole or split in half.

Title: CANDIED GRAPEFRUIT PEEL
Categories: Candy
Yield: 1 servings

2 md Grapefruit (or 3), peels of
Water
3 c Sugar
Food coloring

DIRECTIONS: Cover peel with cold water. Bring to boil and cook until
tender, pouring off water and adding fresh cold water several times.
Drain. With spoon, remove white inner portion of peel. With knife or
tiny star cookie cutter, cut a few stars from peel, if desired. With
scissors or sharp knife, cut rest of peel in thin strips. Make syrup
by boiling 2 cups sugar with 1 cup water. Add a little red or green
food coloring. (A drop or two of yellow coloring with red improves
the finished color.) Add peel; cook over low heat until peel has a
clear, candied appearance. Remove peel, 2 or 3 pieces at a time,
allowing excess syrup to drain back into saucepan. Roll strips
separately into remaining 1 cup sugar until well coated. Place on
rack to cool. Store in tightly covered container in cool, dry place.
Keeps at least a month.
