4, 2003 12:02 AM  Caramel pecan ice cream made in a hand cranked
White Mountain freezer using pasteurized heavy cream, organic
butter, sugar, egg yolks and a half dozen pots and pans to
assemble all of this. I'm finding there's a talent to this type
of ice cream (making the caramel first, sauteing the chopped
pecans in butter, then the base, then combining) that actually
rivals making risotto. But the flavor going into the
refrigerator was just incredible. Now if I can just nail the
texture tomorrow, cranking it by hand with rock salt and ice
before repacking and covering with burlap to ripen.  Like
seriously good risotto I think most people have never had ice
cream on the level I hope this turns out at. This is somewhere
north of 30% butterfat!  If I don't post over the weekend please
assume that I spoke too soon!    1. j     Joe H. Jul 4, 2003
