Honey Plum Ginger Froyo
So, the first thing I did after dividing out my gallon of yogurt was to take whatever didn't fit in my tupperware containers and make frogurt (also cursed). I've been wanting to try this for a while:
Honey Plum Ginger Froyo:
1 1/2 cups low fat yogurt
3/4 cup plum puree
fresh grated ginger to taste
3 tbsp honey
Mix and let sit in refrigerator for about half an hour. Freeze in ice cream according to directions. Make approx 2.5 cups.
Verdict: With perfect, 20/20 hindsight, I can safely say that though the plum puree colors it pink rather nicely, you don't taste the plums. The puree was the remainder of some farm share plums that were just about to go bad. I skinned them, then pureed and froze them. I wish I'd made this fresh (we didn't have any yogurt at the time), and I put in way too much ginger (I just grated most of what was left of the stuff we had). As a result, it's really just pink ginger ice cream. It's still tasty, but it doesn't set my world on fire. The yogurt tastes quite good in this. I'm kind of glad I didn't follow a recipe and do yogurt, milk & gelatin. This had a fairly nice texture, I thought.
In queue for freezing this week: honey froyo, peach froyo, and dulce de leche froyo. And maybe vanilla. What? We have a lot of yogurt to get through, even with the stuff I saved for a starter for the next batch.
