PASSION FRUIT ICE CREAM WITH RUM-VANILLA CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• For the ice cream: Pour the cream into a large chilled bowl and whisk to firm peaks, either by hand or with an electric mixer. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a second large bowl and mix in the vanilla and passion fruit nectar. In three additions, fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk until just combined. Pour the mixture into an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap, pressing lightly on the surface to keep air out. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• For the caramel sauce: Pour the sugar into a small saucepan with 1/4 cup water and set over medium heat. Add the lemon juice. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean halves and add the pod. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, swirling the pan occasionally and brushing down the sides of the pot with a pastry brush as needed, until the sugar syrup is a dark amber color, about 10 minutes.
• Carefully add the cream--it may bubble up--and stir to combine. Whisk in the butter, a few pieces at a time. Add a pinch of salt, then whisk in the rum. Let the sauce cool until just warm, about 15 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooling, remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften. Serve the warm sauce over the ice cream.

ICE CREAM WITH RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE AND FRESH FRUIT

Steps:

• Pour one bottle of red wine into a saucepan.
• Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise. (Do not substitue vanilla extract for the bean -- the flavor is not anywhere near the same or as good.).
• Add the vanilla bean, sugar and peppercorns and keep on a low, rolling boil until the liquid reduces to about a cup. (this will take around a half an hour).
• Remove from heat and allow to finish thickening.
• Pour sauce over sliced fresh fruit (I prefer peaches or mango) and all natural vanilla ice cream.
• The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.

FRUIT SAUCE TOPPING FOR ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Add heaping cup of frozen fruit to pot.
• Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pot.
• When strawberries are soft, mash them with a fork or masher.
