1 pt fresh raspberries
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 lemon, juice of
2 large eggs
2 cup heavy or whipping cream
1 cup milk
Directions
Compare to other fresh fruit, raspberries are intensely flavorful and
very tart, so to make ice cream you need less fruit and more sugar.
Toss the raspberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and the lemon juice together in
a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, then
continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour
in the heavy cream and milk and whisk to blend. Drain the juice from
the raspberries into the cream mixture and blend. Mash the
raspberries until pureed and stir them into the cream mixture.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the
manufacturer's instructions. Makes 1 generous quart.
NOTE: If you prefer a chunkier raspberry ice cream, return the
raspberries to the refrigerator after pouring off the juice. After
the ice cream stiffens, about 2 minutes before it is done, add the
whole raspberries.

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into ancient history, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of a good variety of spices, including some familiar names for example basil, mint and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two recipe books published in the 1300s - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food cooked for the upper classes of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations prompted an outbreak in books on cooking, some of which still exist in academic collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of the West competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
