Week 12, Recipe 3, Cantaloupe Ice Cream

This one requires an ice cream maker machine contraption. I used the one that I've been cursing for taking up so much space in my kitchen. Just realized it's pretty cool. Although I want to research other ways to make ice cream. I have this memory of rolling around a tube filled with ice cream ingredients in Girl Scouts. I think there was rock salt in there? Sounds healthy...


2 lbs. cantaloupe* - peel, remove seeds and puree in food processor. Pour into medium bowl and stir in:
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar
pinch salt, and refrigerate until sugar is dissolved. Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine and stir to dissolve the sugar:
1 cup light cream
1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup sugar
Pour cream mixture into ice cream maker and let 'er whirl. After about 25 minutes add the cantaloupe mixture.

Points
Taste: 5 points, and I think it could even use less sugar, depending how sweet your fruit is.
Ingredients: 1 point
Originality: 3 points, Adapted from Joy of Cooking, Peach, Apricot, Mango, or Nectarine Ice Cream
Docuementation: 5 points. I know you love the frozen piece of cantaloupe as garnish.

Total: 14 points
