MORE Things to Try...

I just keep finding more and more stuff! Here are two more recipes I need to try!



Fresh Peach Frozen Yogurt
(makes about a quart)

3 large, ripe peaches, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 cup sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 cups plain whole milk yogurt

Put the peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender and purée. (If you do want to add vodka to keep the mix from getting icy in the freezer, add it before you blend.)(Jackie: If you have Vodka in your fridge you're probably not reading my blog :) )

Transfer the peach mixture to a large bowl and stir in the yogurt. If you have time, chill the base in the refrigerator for an hour or so (not completely necessary, but an extra safeguard if your ice cream maker isn't very powerful).

Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the directions. Serve immediately or transfer to a container and allow to firm up for an hour or two in the freezer.

Here's where I got the recipe.



Banana ONLY Ice Cream (I'm Skeptical of this one but who knows...)

That mystery ingredient, of course, is banana! The smidgen of fat in bananas makes a magic trick when they are frozen and blended up. They turn creamy instead of crumbly, with a smooth texture any home ice cream chef would love to have in their frozen treats.

The major tips can be summed up as:

• Peel your bananas first.
• Cut them into small pieces.
• Freeze for just 1-2 hours on a plate.
• Blend, blend, blend - scraping down the bowl when they stick.
• Enjoy the magic moment when they turn into ice cream!

Here is where I got the recipe.

I'll let you know how all of these go. :)
