        It contains flavors of licorice and sassafras. Should be added during the last few moments of cooking. Good in green and yellow moles. If it cannot be found, try substituting equal parts fresh basil and tarragon, about half as much by volume than the epazote called for.

              Canadian Capers

              Posted by Olga at recipegoldmine.com 7/18/02 9:41:19 am

              These are a substitute for the real capers bottled commercially. These are Nasturtium seed capers.

              Nasturtium seeds (fresh picked and not sprayed with any chemicals)
              White vinegar
              Salt
              Peppercorns

              To each 2 1/2 cups of vinegar in a saucepan add 3 teaspoons salt and 6 peppercorns (berries). Bring to boiling point. Cool. Strain into sealer or crock. Gather young nasturtium seeds as soon as the blossoms fall and before the seeds get hard. Drop them into prepared vinegar and let stand at least two days before using them.

              ben & jerrys sweet cream bases for ice cream

              Ben & Jerrys Sweet Cream Bases for Ice Cream

              Posted by FootsieBear at recipegoldmine.com on 8/7/2001 2:48 pm

              Sweet Cream Base #1
              2 large eggs
              3/4 cup granulated sugar
              2 cups heavy or whipping cream
              1 cup milk

              This is Ben and Jerrys most popular base, has creamy texture, medium body, and a subtle, understated taste. Its especially good as a background for fruit, cookies and candy. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue to whisk until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend. Makes 1 quart.

              Sweet Cream Base #2
              2 cups heavy or whipping cream
              3/4 cup granulated sugar
              2/3 cup half-and-half

              This simple recipe is made with a minimum of ingredients and requires no cooking. It makes a very creamy ice cream with 25% butterfat, but it does not store well in home freezers, so be prepared to eat it all!! Pour the cream into a mixing bowl. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the half-and-half and whisk to blend. Makes 1 quart.

              Sweet Cream Base #3
              2 cups light cream
              1 cup sweetened condensed milk - cold

              This recipe makes a less creamy, less rich ice cream. Ben likes the slightly cooked flavor of the sweetened condensed milk. Whisk the light cream and the sweetened condensed milk together in a mixing bowl until blended.

              Makes 1 quart.
