Yield 2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the strawberry puree:
10 ounces (about 1 pint) ripe strawberries, hulled and halved
¼ cup honey
Heat the oven to 300°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
For the ice cream base:
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dry milk powder
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1⅓ cups whole milk
1⅓ cups heavy cream
For the ice cream:
¾ cup Strawberry Puree (recipe follows), very cold
¼ cup honey balsamic vinegar, like Honey Ridge Farms or O Olive Oil
⅛ teaspoon freshly (and very finely) ground black pepper
3 cups Ice Cream Base (recipe follows), very cold
¾ cup your favorite strawberry jam

Steps:

  • Strawberry puree:
  • Spread the strawberries out evenly on the lined sheet pan and drizzle them with the honey. Bake for 15 minutes. Stir the berries and continue baking until they just barely begin to caramelize and get a little bit of roasted color to them, about 20 minutes more. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let them sit until they're cool enough to handle. Transfer the berries to a blender along with the yummy sticky stuff on the parchment paper and puree to make a smooth sauce. Chill in the fridge until cold.
  • Store the puree in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Ice cream base:
  • Combine the sugar, dry milk, and xanthan gum in a small bowl and stir well.
  • Pour the corn syrup into a medium pot and stir in the whole milk. Add the sugar mixture and immediately whisk vigorously until smooth. Set the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring often and adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent a simmer, until the sugar has fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Add the cream and whisk until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 6 hours, or for even better texture and flavor, 24 hours. Stir the base back together if it separates during the resting time. The base can be further stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. (Just be sure to fully thaw the frozen base before using it.)
  • Ice cream:
  • In a bowl, combine the strawberry puree, vinegar, and black pepper with the ice cream base. Whisk as needed to get everything completely incorporated into the base. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and turn on the machine. Churn just until it has the texture of soft-serve.
  • Stir the jam with a fork to loosen it. Quickly alternate spooning layers of the mixture and dollops of the jam in freezer-friendly containers.
  • Cover with parchment paper, pressing it to the surface of the ice cream so it adheres, then cover with a lid. It's okay if the parchment hangs over the rim. Store it in the coldest part of your freezer (farthest from the door) until firm, at least 6 hours. It will keep for up to 3 months.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful strawberries: The quality of your strawberries will greatly impact the taste of your jam. Look for berries that are deep red in color, plump, and have a sweet aroma.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the jam from scorching. A Dutch oven or a large saucepan are both good options.
  • Don't overcook the jam: The jam should be thick and spreadable, but not too stiff. Overcooking the jam will make it tough and chewy. To test if the jam is done, spoon a small amount onto a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is ready.
  • Let the jam cool completely before storing: This will help to prevent the jam from becoming too thick and difficult to spread. Once the jam is cool, store it in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Strawberry balsamic black pepper jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is perfect for spreading on toast, crackers, or scones. It can also be used as a glaze for grilled chicken or fish, or as a dipping sauce for fruit or cheese. With its sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor, strawberry balsamic black pepper jam is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
