CARAMEL MACADAMIA NUT ICE CREAM This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Chiles Estate in Brennan, Texas in 1996. Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter cut into small pieces |
1/2 cup half-and-half |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup granulated sugar |
2-1/2 cups half-and-half |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
3/4 cup chopped salted macadamia nuts |
Directions:
1. To make caramel sauce pour sugar into small heavy pan.
2. Place over medium heat and let sugar melt to a dark brown liquid.
3. Stir in butter and half-and-half then stir over medium heat until mixture becomes a sauce.
4. Stir in salt then remove from heat.
5. In heat proof bowl beat together eggs and salt then set aside.
6. In heavy bottomed pan combine sugar and half-and-half then bring to a simmer.
7. Pour 1/2 cup of the mixture into egg mixture and beat.
8. Return mixture to pan and cook slowly over low heat until thickened to sauce consistency.
9. Remove from heat then stir in vanilla and strain into a bowl then cover and refrigerate until cold.
