Nestle foods subsidiary Haagen-Dazs is warning that disappearing bee colonies in the United States could become a big problem for the premium ice cream maker. That’s because, according to Haagen-Dazs, one-third of the U.S. food supply — including a variety of fruits, vegetables and even nuts — depends on pollination from bees.

The pomegranate is a fall and winter fruit, so this gelato is appropriate for the season. Refreshing without being heavy, it has a beautiful blush-pink color, and the tanginess of the fruit cuts the richness of the dairy. The result is an irresistible autumnal dessert you won’t soon forget.

Active time: 15 min
Start to finish: 3 1/2 hr (includes chilling and freezing)

Servings: Makes 1 quart.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups bottled pomegranate juice
1/3 cup pomegranate liqueur such as PAMA
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Special equipment: an ice cream maker

Garnish: pomegranate seeds

Whisk together cream, milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking occasionally, then boil, whisking, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining ingredients.

Servings: Serves 6 to 8.

Ingredients:
1 cup crumbs from brown soda bread or crustless whole wheat bread
14 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar

2/3 cup whole milk
1 3-inch piece vanilla bean, split lengthwise

2 large egg yolks

1 1/3 cups chilled whipping cream

2 1-pint baskets strawberries, hulled, sliced

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with foil; butter foil. Mix breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar and brown sugar in medium bowl. Scatter over prepared baking sheet. Bake until sugar begins to melt and crumbs are slightly darker, stirring crumbs occasionally with metal spatula to prevent sticking, about 10 minutes. Transfer breadcrumbs to bowl and cool. Break crumbs into small pieces.

Place milk in medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to simmer. Remove from heat and let steep 30 minutes.

Whisk egg yolks and 5 tablespoons sugar in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in milk mixture. Return mixture to same saucepan. Stir over low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Strain into small bowl. Chill custard until cold, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.

Beat whipping cream in large bowl until firm peaks form. Fold custard into cream. Gently fold into breadcrumbs. Transfer to covered containers and freeze. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)

Combine strawberries and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl. Let stand until juices form, about 20 minutes. Scoop ice cream into bowls. Spoon strawberries and juices over and serve.

What are pomegranates good for?

Researchers report that they are rich in antioxidants that can keep bad LDL cholesterol from oxidizing (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, May 2000). This degradation of LDL seems to be an initial step in the development of atherosclerosis. In addition, pomegranate juice, like aspirin, can help keep blood platelets from clumping together to form unwanted clots. [SOURCE]

Why not have your antioxidants and your calcium in one sitting?

Pomegranate Ice Cream Recipe

3 cups of whipping cream
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of sugar
1 vanilla bean, split
4 large egg yolks
2 pomegranate

In a saucepan, heat the cream, milk, sugar and vanilla bean until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

Whisk egg yolks in a bow and gradually add 1 cup of the cream mixture. When smooth, add it all back into the pan.

Whisk constantly over low heat until it thickens slightly and coats the spoon, about five minutes. Don’t let it boil.

Remove the pan from the heat.

Remove the seeds from the pomegranate and extract the juice with a mortar and pestle.

Take the vanilla bean out of the pan and add the fruit juice. Put in the refrigerator for an hour until cool.

Put everything ice cream maker (like this one! ) and follow manufacturer’s directions.
