Jolly Roger

 

My grandkids go out of their way to avoid nuts. Some make an exception for peanut butter, as long as it’s creamy, not crunchy. Even peanut M&M’s are suspect. I don’t believe there are any allergies at play. It seems to be an issue with texture. Are nuts an acquired taste? I do hope they grow out of it eventually. It would be so sad for them to miss out on cashews, macadamias, and pistachios.

 

Pistachio Ice Cream

 

1 1/3 cups whole milk

1 cup granulated sugar

3 cups heavy cream

1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pure almond extract

1 1/2 cups shelled pistachios, roughly chopped (Use plain or lightly salted.)

 

Use a mixer or blender to combine milk and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream, and vanilla and almond extracts. Process according to ice cream maker directions. Stir in nuts. Cover and freeze until fully set.
