Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup dark rum
3/4 cup dried currants
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup half-and-half
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
Special Equipment
an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Heat rum in a small saucepan until just warm, then remove from heat. Add currants and let stand, covered, 1 hour.
  • Bring cream, half-and-half, and salt just to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Whisk together eggs and brown sugar in a large bowl, then add hot cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Pour custard into saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thick enough to coat back of spoon and an instant-read thermometer registers 170 to 175°F, about 5 minutes (do not let boil).
  • Pour custard through a sieve into a bowl, then add rum and currants and cool completely, stirring occasionally. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 3 hours.
  • Freeze custard in ice cream maker. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden. (Due to rum, this ice cream will have a slightly softer texture than others.)

I had some trouble getting the ice cream to churn properly. I think I needed to use a colder ice bath.

I'm not a big fan of rum, but I still enjoyed this ice cream. The currants help to balance out the rum flavor.

I used dried currants instead of fresh and they worked just fine.

I love that this recipe uses real rum instead of rum extract. It gives the ice cream a much more authentic flavor.

The rum flavor is subtle but definitely there. The currants add a nice pop of sweetness and tartness.
