Susans Rum 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:

• 1. Place raisins, rum, water, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small saucepan. Heat almost to boiling, remove from heat, stir well and refrigerate 1-2 hours or overnight.
• 2. In a medium bowl, using a whisk, combine milk, sugar and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours, or overnight. Do this at the same time as the raisins.
• 3. To make ice cream: Turn on the Cuisinart ice cream maker; pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. About 5 minutes before mixing is completed, add the reserved rum raisins and let mix in completely.
• 4. If you have a different type of ice cream freezer, follow manufacturer's directions for freezing and adding fruit. I used mixed Jumbo raisins for my recipe. They are made from white, red, and purple grapes, and are larger than regular raisins.
• 5. Ice cream will be of soft-serve consistency when finished. For firmer ice cream, remove to a freezer container and freeze for 1-2 hours. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
