  5. Here's our recipe for Honey Lavender Ice Cream, which can also be found here:

    http://www.inapinchspices.com/recipes/hone...ericecream.html

    We gave out samples at our farmer's market booth and everyone loved it! We got great results with a standard home ice cream maker.

    INGREDIENTS

    2 ¼ cups whole milk

    2 ¼ cups heavy cream

    1 vanilla bean

    2 tbsp. In A Pinch Hawaiian Vanilla Sugar (or any premium brand vanilla sugar)

    1 whole egg, plus 2 egg yolks

    1 cup sugar

    1 tsp. vanilla extract

    2 tbsp. honey

    1 tbsp. corn syrup

    2 tsp. In A Pinch Lavender (or any premium brand, or some that you've grown in your garden, as long as it's sweet with absolutely no bitterness)

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    Combine milk, cream, and half of the sugar in a medium saucepan and heat on medium-low flame. Split the vanilla bean in half down the middle and chop into large pieces. Stir mixture constantly while cooking. When mixture begins to boil, stir in vanilla sugar, corn syrup, lavender, and extract.

    Lower heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, constantly stirring. Remove from heat, strain, and set aside to cool. Remove one cup of the cream mixture and set aside. In a small bowl, combine egg, egg yolks, and remaining sugar in a bowl. Using a hand mixer set on medium, beat the mixture until it is thick and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).

    Take the cooled cup of cream mixture and slowly mix it into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. When combined, strain and return the new mixture into the rest of the cooled cream mixture. Return saucepan to a low flame and cook, stirring constantly until the thickness can cover the back of a spoon. Transfer mixture to a bowl and set aside to cool for 10 minutes, cover with plastic wrap, and set in refrigerator to chill for 3 hours.

    Pour chilled custard mixture into ice cream maker and turn on per machine's instructions. When thickened, the ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. Transfer ice cream to air tight containers and set in freezer.

    You will need to freeze this overnight. Hope you like it!

  6. Hi Everyone!

    I'd like to introduce In a Pinch Fine Spices, a new small business based in Bethesda. We offer spice blends, peppercorns, baking spices, and gift sets. Please check out our booth inside the Bethesda Farm Women's Cooperative Market or our website:

    http://www.inapinchspices.com.

    We started In a Pinch because we wanted to provide interesting, fresh, and unique spice blends - the kind that we like to use ourselves.

    Lots of people have fun sampling our blends at our booth, which they've compared to a wine tasting. We also have recipes that go with our products, and food tastings on most Saturdays.

    The Market is open every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. We're usually there from 8:00-4:00pm. Please see the Market's website for hours, location, and directions: http://www.farmwomensmarket.com/
