SPICY ICE CREAM-CITRUS PUNCH
This punch is a Christmas tradition at our home, and a wonderful alternative to traditional eggnog. It is not too heavy and the addition of ginger ale gives it a kick! You can make it several days in advance and wait until the last minute to add ginger ale. I also freeze a ginger ale ice ring and add it to the punch bowl to help keep the punch cold. Add cinnamon swizzle sticks to your glasses for pretty presentation.

Steps:
- For the stuffing: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Lay the bread out on two rimmed baking sheets. Bake until slightly dried out, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, soak the dried cranberries in a bowl with the brown sugar, orange juice and all the citrus zests.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sage and thyme and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the onions, celery, garlic, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 12 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the bread, pour in the stock, and add the cranberry mixture; toss to coat. Let cool completely. Add the parsley, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper and mix thoroughly.
- For the roulade: Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Lay the butterflied turkey breast skin-side-down on a plastic-wrap-lined work surface. Pound with a meat mallet to an even 1/2- to 3/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Spread about 5 cups of the stuffing in a 1/2-inch layer over the breast, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Starting on a long side, tightly roll up the breast to enclose the stuffing. Tie and secure the roulade every 1 1/2 inches with kitchen twine.
- Butter a 3-quart baking dish and fill it with the remaining stuffing.
- Gently rub the softened butter all over the roulade; sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to a rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 150 degrees F, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Thirty minutes before the roulade is done, add the stuffing to the oven.
- When the roulade is at temperature and the stuffing is hot, increase the oven temperature to 475 degrees F and cook for another 5 minutes, until both are golden brown. Transfer the roulade to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes.
- For the gravy: Melt the butter in the roasting pan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to form a paste. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the white wine and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Add the stock, sage and thyme; reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cream. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Remove the twine and cut the roulade into slices. Serve with the extra stuffing and the gravy on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right citrus fruits. Different citrus fruits have different flavors, so choose the ones that you like best. Some popular choices include oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and tangerines.
- Zest the citrus fruits before juicing them. This will help release the essential oils and give your cream a more intense flavor.
- Use fresh citrus juice. Fresh citrus juice has a brighter flavor than store-bought juice.
- Add other ingredients to taste. You can add sugar, honey, or other sweeteners to taste. You can also add herbs, spices, or extracts for a more complex flavor.
- Serve the cream immediately. Citrus cream is best served fresh. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Citrus cream is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It can be used as a topping for cakes, pies, and other desserts. It can also be used as a sauce for fish, chicken, or vegetables. Citrus cream is a delicious and easy way to add a burst of flavor to your favorite dishes.
