FRESH FIG GELATO WITH ORANGE AND CINNAMON
The fig trees are full down here & I have many neighbors who oddly do not eat their figs... so more for me! This sounded sooo good I had to save it for a few more weeks until the figs are ripening. From The Times-Picayune - those folks know good cookin'! The prep time doesn't include the 3 hour chill time before freezing so plan ahead.

Steps:
- Place figs, orange juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and cinnamon in a small pan and cook over low heat until the figs have softened, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness of the skin. Mash until the mixture is almost pureed but still has some texture. Set aside until it reaches room temperature. Cover and refrigerate.
- In the meantime, place milk, cream and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar in a small pan and cook over low heat, whisking from time to time, until it is warm, about 175 degrees.
- Place egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the brown sugar, vanilla and salt in a small metal bowl and whisk until completely mixed. Add 1/4 of the warm milk mixture to the eggs, whisking all the while. Continue adding milk to the eggs, 1/4 cup at a time, until you have added about 1 1/2 cups.
- Slowly, whisking all the while, return the now milk-and-egg mixture to the remaining milk mixture in the pan and continue cooking until it just begins to thicken or reaches about 185 degrees. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Pour through a medium fine strainer into a metal bowl, discard the solids and set aside until it reaches room temperature.
- Add the cooled fig mixture. Cover and refrigerate until it reaches 40 degrees, about 3 hours. Transfer to an ice cream maker and proceed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Tips:
- To achieve the smoothest gelato, ensure your figs are perfectly ripe and chilled before starting.
- Use a high-quality ice cream maker that will churn the gelato quickly and evenly.
- Chill your gelato base thoroughly before churning. This will help it set up properly and prevent it from becoming icy.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this gelato by freezing the mixture in a covered container and stirring it every 30 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Serve your gelato immediately or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
