This is from an old book, "Joy of Ice Cream" which has some wonderful ideas in it. I had some heavy cream which was fast approaching the delete date, so what's a person to do?????
BUTTER PECAN ICE CREAM
makes 1 qt.
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup half-&-half (I used canned milk - no 1/2 & 1/2)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cups heavy cream
dash of salt
Melt 2 T. of the buter in a skillet and saute the pecans till lightly browned. Drain on paper towels.
Place brown sugar, 1/2&1/2, and remaining butter in a heavy saucepan.
Heat over low heat, stirring steadily, until the sugar dissolves and the butter is melted. Let cool.
Place the egg and butter mixture into a blender and blend on med. speed till the miture is smooth.
Slowly add the cream and salt, and continue blending on low speed till mixture is very smooth, about 30 seconds.
Add pecans.
Tansfer the mixture to your ice-cream machine and freeze accoringly.
