hands down pineapple gelato is my favorite....first tasted it back in '94 when we were in Italy, been a fan ever since. I've tried making pineapple gelato a few times, I get pretty close to the real thing, but I really need an authentic Italian gelato recipe to duplicate it
(otherwise it's like drinking Guinness over here vs. in Ireland...it's close, but not what they pour in Ireland)
today however, we are going to make some 'lavender ice cream'....nice recipe, the flavor comes from dried lavender flowers ground into dust. We'll freeze what we make while awaiting the Mission figs to show up in the grocery. We bake the figs in honey and port wine and serve them hot over the lavender ice cream. Lot's of great flavors going on in that bowl for sure.
