Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 cinnamon stick
6 Bartlett or Anjou pears, peeled and cored
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons brandy, (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine milk, cream, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until small bubbles appear around the edge. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook pears for 45 minutes, or until they make a thick sauce. Let cool a bit, then puree in a food processor or blender.
  • Beat together egg yolks and sugar in a small bowl. Bring milk mixture back to a simmer, and whisk about 1 cup hot milk into egg mixture. Return to pan, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until thick enough to coat the spoon, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir puree into ice-cream base. Chill, then stir in brandy, if desired. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Store in an airtight plastic container up to 2 weeks.

I made this ice cream and it was a disaster! The pears were not ripe enough and the ice cream was icy. I would not recommend this recipe.
