Mango Ice Cream A Favorite Of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Food

MANGO ICE CREAM, A FAVORITE OF JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS

Steps:

• You will need 6-8 very ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted and pureed to make 4 cups total.
• Scald the cream and then remove from heat.
• Stir in the sugar until it dissolves [you can use superfine sugar].
• Then, stir in the mango puree and the strained lime juice.
• Let cool in the refrigerator.
• Freeze in an ice cream machine, according to the manufacturer's directions.
• When the ice cream is ready, store it in a container in the freezer.
• You can serve this with julienned strips of mango over the top of each serving and/or a bit of freshly-grated ginger [microplane graters and zesters are the best for grating ginger].
• NOTE: This should be served the same day it is made so that it doesn't get too hard. You can scoop it out into the serving bowls a little ahead of time and leave in the refrigerator so the consistency can be gooey but firm. Chefs for the Royal Family shape the ice cream with 2 spoons into oval shapes.
• You can also add more egg yolks and good-quality vanilla or bourbon vanilla to taste.

PEACH ICE CREAM RECIPE FROM COOK FOR JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS

Steps:

• Scald the cream, then take the pan off the heat and stir in the sugar until it is dissolved.
• Stir in the peaches and any peach juice in the bowl.
• Add the strained lemon juice.
• Let cool. Then freeze in an ice cream maker, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Note from Marta Sgubin: I tried adding a little peach brandy to this but decided I preferred the pure flavor. If you like, you can try it, but don't add too much or the alcohol could prevent the custard from freezing.
