Bergamot Geranium Szechuan Pepper Plum Sherbet It

Bergamot Geranium Szechuan Pepper Plum Sherbet

It’s plum season. I love plums. The signal that summer is coming to and end. They tell us to be ready for change, and yet they summer us to remember it’s still summer.

I love all kinds of plums. As a little girl growing up in California I are a lot of plums. I think plums used to be way more popular than peaches and nectarines.

The plout thing pushes us away from so many delicious plum. I like plouts but I love plums.

I cook with plums a lot in sweet and savory dishes. But several years back a friend gifted me with beautiful red plums from there tree and I made a sherbet that I will never forget. I know I’m normally against shebet and sherbets and fruit ices of any kind because I adore ice cream but this recipe borders on too much cream for a shebet anyhow.

What is shebet?

Originally it was a cold drink made
with diluted and sweetened fruit juice. It’s Persian and Turkish in origin and eventually when it made its way to the US, they added milk or cream and froze it into an ice cream like mixture. Basically fruit juice is used as a sweetener and flavor agent in an ice milk concoction.

My recipe roasts the fruit and then blends it with water and heavy cream, but milk can also be used. I like the heavy cream because it yields a richer consistency. By law (yes, there are laws for what you can call sherbet), it can only have so much butter fat. Mine probably crosses that limit teetering into ice cream but I’m not selling it so who cares!

The result is a sensual sweet-tart tingle of the tongue. Recipe link in story.

When it’s scorching hot out (as it has been here) and you’ve already taken 3 showers trying to cool off, a cold noodle salad with mangoes, avocadoes and loads of herbs is needed. #recipe in story

I veered from the recipe and made Korean bbq short ribs with the noodle salad.

Culantro
It withstands heat better (not really) than cilantro. For me it’s a good option because cilantro bolts so quickly I never have it in the summer. Culantro taste very similar to cilantro. It’s citrusy, earthy and very bright.

It has spiked stems and leaves so it’s not for everyone. I love it. Most only eat the leaves but the spiky stems and flowers have a very robust taste, more reminiscent of cilantro than the just the leaves.

I’m using it in a fresh Serrano pesto like sauce for some squash blossom zucchini quesadillas on the flattop.

It’s that season for basil and heirlooms and if you are like me, wanting perfectly sliced tomatoes on your dishes, you end up with a bunch of tomato “butts”

Lemon cucumbers and quick scented geranium salt and pepper mix. This tastes like summer to me. Scented geraniums are edible the flowers are tart and floral and lovely to use in summer fare. The leaves are hyper potent- intense so I use those carefully - but I love them blended with blueberries and lemon for drinks

Tomato Leaf Smoked Elote Salt

Fresh Herbs: Epazote, Parsley, Chives, Cilantro, Mexican Oregano Flowers, Sage Flowers, Purple
Sage, Wild Thyme, Bay Leaf, Kent Oregano, Savory, Zuta Levana, Tulsi, Licorice Produce:
Smoked Corn, Baby Leeks, Beet Greens Spices: Chipotle Morita, Chilis Arbol, Chipotle Mora,
Chili Guajillo, Smoked Paprika, Garlic Powder Citrus Zest: Lime Other: Acid League Lime Mayo,
Maldon Salt

The popular Mexican street food in an herb salt, it’s basically a smoky, bold, texturally awesome
seasoning to put on your elote and countless other things, but this one is packed with tomato
leaf, the additive you never knew about. Smoked sweet corn blended into Maldon salt bursts
with a combination of minty, citrusy, and earthy herbs—all of which are also slightly bitter and
assertive. Lots of epazote, lots of cilantro. Wild thyme gives a mountaineering twist. Rich citrusy
mayo layers in a creamy, buttery feel. The salt is doused in lime juice and zest, along with fiery,
freshly ground chili powders that bring substantial heat—heat that’s well-balanced but still hot. This herbaceous, corny herb salt will inspire you to make elote, but it will also challenge you to think of things like fire-cooked paella, lobster rolls, seafood, not to mention grilled summer vegetables like summer squash, tomatoes, and corn—and yes, peaches too!
