Since only my sister editor found Father's Day interesting, I shall retaliate with... Unnatural Ices
Doesn't that just send shivers up your spine? (C'mon, couldn't you shiver, just a little?)
Okay, to be fair,
blueeyedtigress asked for it, after the soy debacle, and the frozen Bloody Mary recipe left her cold.
Adapted from Messrs Cohen and Greenfield, here are two of my favourites.
Beer Sorbet
18 oz dark beer (that's about 1 1/2 bottles, I trust you know what to do with the remainder)
5 T sugar (this is an approximate, depending on your taste - Guiness takes about six tablespoons)
Pour the beer and the sugar into a large mixing bowl and stir until the beer is flat and the sugar is dissolved.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Makes one quart
I haven't forgotten the temperance people in my list either.
Citrus Sorbet
3 lemons, chilled (or 1/2 c lemon juice) {or 4 limes = 1/2 c lime juice} [I go ahead and use the whole ruby red grapefruit, but I like grapefruit]
zest of one of the lemons or limes (or both, I like to live dangerously) [Not that fond of grapefruit zest, actually.]
1 c sugar
2 1/2 c very cold water
grate the zest from one of the fruits and set it aside.
Juice the lemons/limes/grapefruits/whathaveyou. Save the pulp but pick out the seeds and pith.
Stir the sugar and water together in a mixing bowl until the sugar dissolves. stir in the juice and the zest.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Makes one quart.
