I have a bunch of recipes from https:\/\/foragerchef.com<\/a> that I wanted to make this year … but we seem to have missed the harvest this year. Reminder for next year — snip a bunch of the citrus-y spruce tips and make spruce tip syrup and spruce tip ice cream.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
\n
    \n
  • 3<\/span> cups<\/span> half and half<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1\/2<\/span> cup<\/span> fresh spruce tips<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 5<\/span> large egg yolks<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 3\/4<\/span> cup<\/span> sugar<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1\/8<\/span> tsp<\/span> salt<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1<\/span> teaspoon <\/span> lime juice\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Instructions<\/h3>\n
    \n
      \n
    • \n
      On low, heat the half and half, sugar, salt, and egg yolks in a small sauce pan, whisking occasionally until the mixture is hot and thickens slightly.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a blender.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      When the mixture is cool, chop the spruce tips well, then add to the blender and puree until very smooth. It takes a bit of horsepower to break down the needles, for the best flavor you really need them finely blended.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      When the mixture is pureed, pass it through a fine mesh strainer. If possible, allow the custard to sit in the fridge overnight, which will give a better texture in the finished product. Before spinning, whisk in the lime juice.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Place the spruce custard in the bowl of an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturers directions. Mine usually takes about 45 minutes.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
