And another question, anyone use a Cuisineart Icecream maker? I have a few questions to ask

I have one and use it often--first suggestion-- get The Perfect Scoop" by David Leibovitz

Great recipes and tips for using the ice cream maker. (he uses the Cuisinart)
Good luck!!

 
I bought one a couple of weeks ago and have been making sorbets like crazy.

I love it, it is so easy to use and sorbet is done in 25 minutes. I make the "batter" the night before and but the bowl into the freezer. The next morning I mix the sorbet and put it into the freezer and it is ready for dessert that night. So far I have made:

blackberry
chocolate
2 different lemon verbena
lemongrass/coconut

Next will be a batch of mixed berry with the left over puree from jam making.

 
Agreed. Another great book: Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

Jeni's ice cream recipes are a little different (they include a small bit of cream cheese), but the results are fantastic! My one complaint with homemade ice creams is that they are typically best straight out of the machine. An overnight trip to the freezer and somehow the flavor and the consistency changes and they become less satisfying to me. Jeni's recipes, on the other hand, are pefect on day 2. Easily scoopable and full of flavor. Plus, there's a photo for every recipe in her book, which I love.

Thanks! I will have to check that out! I tried a few of her recipes from F&W mag, forgot

how much I liked them! CI had poo poo'd the cornstarch addition, but I tried the CI vanilla version and didn't like it. Unusual for a CI recipe.

 
I'll have to check my book, but I think her ratios have changed since the article in F&W.
