Susans Rum Raisin Ice Cream Recipes

RUM RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a small nonreactive saucepan, combine the raisins with enough rum to cover.
• Bring to a simmer over low heat.
• (Watch carefully. If the alcohol gets too hot, it will ignite.) Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Strain the rum into a heatproof glass measuring cup and set aside.
• Reserve the raisins.
• In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream and half-and-half.
• Gradually whisk in the sugar to blend.
• Whisk in the vanilla.
• Refrigerate, covered, until very cold, at least 3 hours or as long as 3 days.
• Whisk the mixture to blend and pour into the canister of an ice cream maker.
• Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
• When the ice cream is at the soft-serve stage, add 1/3 cup of the rum and the raisins and process 1 minute longer.
• (Discard any remaining rum or reserve for another use.) Eat at once or transfer to a covered container and freeze up to 8 hours.

EASY RUM RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the raisins in a small bowl, pour on the rum, cover with plastic wrap, and allow the raisins to steep overnight.
• The next day, remove ice cream from freezer and allow to stand at room temperature until the ice cream is softened but not melting, about 15 minutes. Scoop the ice cream into a large bowl, and stir in the rum-soaked raisins, any extra rum in the bowl, and nutmeg until the ice cream is well mixed. The rum will soften the ice cream and make mixing easier.
• Pack the flavored ice cream back into the carton and refreeze until needed, at least 1/2 hour.

RUM AND RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine raisins, rum and vanilla extract in small bowl; cover and stand overnight.
• Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly; pour into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions.

SUSAN'S RUM RAISIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• 1. Place raisins, rum, water, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small saucepan. Heat almost to boiling, remove from heat, stir well and refrigerate 1-2 hours or overnight.
• 2. In a medium bowl, using a whisk, combine milk, sugar and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours, or overnight. Do this at the same time as the raisins.
• 3. To make ice cream: Turn on the Cuisinart ice cream maker; pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. About 5 minutes before mixing is completed, add the reserved rum raisins and let mix in completely.
• 4. If you have a different type of ice cream freezer, follow manufacturer's directions for freezing and adding fruit. I used mixed Jumbo raisins for my recipe. They are made from white, red, and purple grapes, and are larger than regular raisins.
• 5. Ice cream will be of soft-serve consistency when finished. For firmer ice cream, remove to a freezer container and freeze for 1-2 hours. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
