Ingredients:

  • 4- inch strip fresh lemon zest
  • 4- inch strip fresh orange zest
  • 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • 8 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup amontillado sherry
  • 12 soft (moist ) dried calimyrna figs (10 oz), tough stems removed and figs halved lengthwise
  • 1 cup amontillado sherry
  • 6 tbsp honey

Directions:

  1. Make ice cream: Bring half-and-half with lemon and orange zests and cinnamon stick just to a boil over moderate heat. Cover and let stand off heat 25 minutes, then reheat to a simmer. Discard zests and cinnamon stick.
  2. Whisk together yolks, sugar, and Sherry in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually whisk in hot milk mixture. Transfer custard to cleaned saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened enough to coat back of a wooden spoon and an instant-read thermometer registers 170°F.
  3. Pour custard through a fine sieve into a bowl and cover surface with wax paper to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until thoroughly cold, about 3 hours. Freeze in an ice-cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.
  4. Make figs: Bring figs, Sherry, juice, and honey, covered, to a boil in a small saucepan. Simmer, covered, just until figs are tender, about 40 minutes, then uncover and simmer until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup, about 8 minutes. Cool figs in syrup.
  5. Serve ice cream with honeyed figs and syrup.
  6. Cooks' notes: ·Ice cream can be made 3 days ahead. ·You can also prepare figs 3 days ahead and chill, covered.
