Fresh figs are extremely perishable, and easily damaged when shipped long
distances. Therefore, if your local supermarket doesn’t carry any, try a
farmers’ market. The closer to home your figs grew, the better they will be.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound fresh figs, peeled
- Juice and zest of ½ lemon
- ¼ cup honey
YIELD: 1 QUART
DESCRIPTION:
- In a small bowl, combine the peeled figs, lemon juice, and honey. Stir and allow to macerate at room temperature for 1–2 hours.
- After the figs are ready, place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.
- Add the mixture to an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for freezing.
- Stop the churning as soon as the gelato is just frozen.
