Caramelized Fig and Port Ice Cream

My cousin Jeff and his wife Emily have a great blog, Brooklyn Farm and an incredible home.



Last summer I had fresh fig ice cream with Brooklyn Farm. It was one of my favorite memories of New York!



Figs have a great crunch, and port wine adds depth of flavor. I also like how the alcohol in the mixture keeps the ice cream soft.



I'm looking forward to using fresh figs when they are in season later this summer. Dried figs have good flavor, but you just can't beat the vibrant color of fresh figs. See?
