Pumpkin Gelato
- 1 quart low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup unrefined brown (turbinado) sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 1/4 cups very finely blended pumpkin puree, canned or made from 1 1/4 pounds fresh (see below)
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Pinch of ground cloves (less than 1/8 teaspoon)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Combine the milk, sugar and honey in a large saucepan, and bring to a simmer.
- Remove from the heat, and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Transfer to a bowl, and whisk in the remaining ingredients.
- Allow to cool, then chill in the refrigerator.
- Alternatively, set the bowl inside a bowl of ice water to chill quickly.
- Place a bowl or a container in your freezer.
- Freeze the pumpkin gelato mixture in an ice cream maker following the manufacturers instructions.
- Scrape into the chilled bowl, and freeze for at least two hours before serving.
