Cinnamon-Sorghum Swirl Ice Cream




This recipe is adapted from Cuisinart's Simple Vanilla Ice Cream.

In a large bowl or giant measuring cup, mix 1 1/8 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, 2 Tablespoons sweet sorghum syrup, and 1 1/2 cups whole milk until the sugar is (mostly) dissolved. A large whisk works well for this step and the next one.

Add 3 cups cream, 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract, and 2 Tablespoons cinnamon. Stir thoroughly.

Freeze according to your ice cream maker's directions. When the freezer has done its work, pour the ice cream into a cold freezer container that has a tight-fitting lid. Drizzle 2 Tablespoons sweet sorghum syrup across the top. Pull a fork or chopstick through the ice cream to swirl the sorghum through it (but don't really stir, or the sorghum will start dissolving into the ice cream.)

Freeze for at least two hours before serving. Eight hours is even better.

Enjoy! Kids can easily help make this ice cream, and they will enjoy it even more if they are the chefs.

    Beth (aka my personal blogging and food writing/inventing hero!) -- I didn't stick with this recipe and get it more perfected. It was scrumptious, but I wanted more oomph from the sorghum swirl and didn't know how to get it. I await your wonders!

Boone Tavern Spoon Bread, the 1950s recipe

We have tried spoonbreads (soft, luscious, buttery—described by James Beard as a "heavy, dense soufflé") as Cornbread Supper mainstays before, and used great recipes, but the spoonbreads always did what spoonbreads (and soufflés) do: deflate. Through serendipity, and thanks to a Cornbread Supperian, I lucked into the old Boone Tavern (Berea College) recipe for spoonbread, and it is far less droopy. Perhaps Boone Tavern developed an approach to spoonbread that preserves all its goodness while still working for a busy restaurant. In any case, with thanks to Kentucky food and foodways author and guru John van Willigen, here's an excellent recipe for that can be doubled, tripled, and quadrupled to feed spoonbread to a crowd. It did just that on Monday, February 25, 2013. From Richard T. Hougen. Look No Further: A cookbook of favorite recipes from Boone Tavern Hotel, Berea College, Kentucky.

We remember Vicky Schankula, 1947–2016

Vicky Schankula, at right, in purple One of life's most gracious and delightful people, Victoria Fairbanks Schankula, found Cornbread Suppers early on, and took joy in the weekly gatherings. She came to Cornbread Supper faithfully, bringing beautiful food, laughter, a camera for her "picture of the day," a lovely British accent, a commitment to helping clean up, and a constant interest in each other person in the room. When Vicky entered the house on Monday nights carrying a particular large round plate, children (and a few adults) trailed her to the dessert table to see what she had brought. The favorites: lemon bars, brownies and her mother's most unusual, delicious carrot cake. Vicky graciously shared and allowed us to publish recipes for Lemon Bars and Isabel Fairbairns's (Gangy's) Carrot Cake on this site. Gangy's Carrot Cake on Vicky Schankula's special dessert plate When illness prevented Vicky from returning to Cornbread Supper...

Cornbread Supper now is resting

 For all the Cornbreadians and would-be Cornbreadians -- it was a good run. A bit more than nine years.  You came on Mondays. Conviviality ensued. You made community. Gratitude to all. It was a gift to us.
