Rum And Raisin Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Place the raisins in a small bowl, pour on the rum, cover with plastic wrap, and allow the raisins to steep overnight.
• The next day, remove ice cream from freezer and allow to stand at room temperature until the ice cream is softened but not melting, about 15 minutes. Scoop the ice cream into a large bowl, and stir in the rum-soaked raisins, any extra rum in the bowl, and nutmeg until the ice cream is well mixed. The rum will soften the ice cream and make mixing easier.
• Pack the flavored ice cream back into the carton and refreeze until needed, at least 1/2 hour.

Steps:

• Combine raisins and rum in small bowl. Cover; let stand at room temperature 2 hours. Drain raisins, reserving 6 tablespoons rum. Combine in same bowl.
• Whisk egg yolks and sugar in large bowl until blended. Bring milk and whipping cream to boil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk into yolk mixture. Return mixture to saucepan; stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens, about 15 minutes (do not boil). Strain custard into bowl. Cool. Add raisin mixture to custard. Refrigerate until cold.
• Transfer custard to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Freeze ice cream in covered container until firm, about 4 hours. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead.)

Steps:

• Combine raisins, rum and vanilla extract in small bowl; cover and stand overnight.
• Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly; pour into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Combine raisins, ginger and rum in small bowl; cover and stand 1 hour.
• Strain rum.
• Dissolve sugar into rum raisin mixture.
• Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly; pour into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• In a small nonreactive saucepan, combine the raisins with enough rum to cover.
• Bring to a simmer over low heat.
• (Watch carefully. If the alcohol gets too hot, it will ignite.) Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Strain the rum into a heatproof glass measuring cup and set aside.
• Reserve the raisins.
• In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream and half-and-half.
• Gradually whisk in the sugar to blend.
• Whisk in the vanilla.
• Refrigerate, covered, until very cold, at least 3 hours or as long as 3 days.
• Whisk the mixture to blend and pour into the canister of an ice cream maker.
• Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
• When the ice cream is at the soft-serve stage, add 1/3 cup of the rum and the raisins and process 1 minute longer.
• (Discard any remaining rum or reserve for another use.) Eat at once or transfer to a covered container and freeze up to 8 hours.

Steps:

• Just before you go to bed, place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with the rum; cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit on your counter overnight.
• In the morning, remove ice cream from freezer and place in a large bowl; save carton.
• Stir raisin-rum mixture into ice cream (the ice cream softens quickly, particularly when using a premium brand), then pack back into carton and return to freezer.
• Let freeze for at least 6 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Put the raisins in a bowl, add the rum, and stir together. Let soak for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed.
• Meanwhile, pour the cream into a heavy pan. Split open the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds into the cream, then add the whole vanilla bean. Bring almost to a boil, then remove from the heat and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Put the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl and whisk together until pale and the mixture leaves a trail when the whisk is lifted. Remove the vanilla bean from the cream and then gradually add the cream to the egg mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
• Strain the mixture into the rinsed-out pan or a double boiler and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the wooden spoon. Do not let the mixture boil or it will curdle. Remove the custard from the heat and let cool for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
• If using an ice-cream machine, churn the cold custard in the machine following the manufacturer's instructions. Just before the ice cream freezes, add the soaked raisins.
• Alternatively, freeze the custard in a freezerproof container, uncovered, for 1-2 hours, or until it begins to set around the edges. Turn the custard into a bowl and stir with a fork or beat in a food processor until smooth. Fold in the soaked raisins. Return to the freezer and freezer for 2-3 hours more, or until firm or required. Cover the container with a lid for storing.
