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.

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.

Nine Years of Cornbread Suppers, Plus a few FAQs for new people

Cornbread Supper, spring 2018 As Cornbread Supper celebrates its ninth anniversary, if you aren't already coming, here are a few answers to questions you may have. You're always invited.  No RSVP necessary. All are welcome.  Bring a dish or a bottle to share, or just come. Bring a good listening ear, children, friends, a bright spirit, a good story. There's a lot more specific information on this website: look in the sidebars and you may find answers to your questions. New people come almost every week. We do have corn-something on the table every week. Usually it's Kentucky black skillet cornbread, vegetarian and naturally gluten-free. Cornbread Suppers tend to start very close to 6 PM. If you come later, you will probably find things to eat, but there may not be many options. Every once in a while, especially in July and August but other times as well, something will change and Cornbread Supper will not be at 250 Campsie Place in Lexington, Kentucky at ...
