Serves: 1½ quarts
Ingredients
  • ½ cup chopped fresh ginger root
  • 1½ cups low-fat milk
  • 1½ cups heavy cream (35%)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup fig anise jam or other jam
Instructions
  1. Add ginger, milk, cream and sugar to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Stir occasionally until sugar dissolves. Bring just to a simmer.
  3. Remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature.
  4. Strain into a bowl. Discard ginger.
  5. Refrigerate until completely cold; at least 3 hours or overnight.
  6. Stir mixture. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturers directions.
  7. Spread one ⅓ of the ice cream in a 2 quart rectangular container. Top with dollops of jam. Gently swirl jam into ice cream using a butter knife.
  8. Repeat with another layer of ice cream and a layer of jam. Top with remaining ice cream.
  9. Freeze until hard.
  10. Note - this ice cream remains a bit on the soft side, more like a gelato than ice cream.
