Fresh Ginger Muffins

2 tb Lemon zest

- with some white pith 3 tb Sugar

8 tb Butter; room temperature

2 Eggs

1 c Buttermilk

2 c All-purpose flour

1/2 ts Salt

3/4 ts Baking soda

PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 375F. Grease the muffin tins. Cut the unpeeled ginger until it is in tiny pieces; or hand chop into fine pieces. (You should have 1/4 cup; it is better to have too much ginger than too little.) Put the

ginger and 1/4 cup sugar in a small skillet or pan and cook over medium heat until the sugar has melted and the mixture is hot. Don’t walk away from the pan–this cooking takes only a couple of minutes. Remove from the stove and let the ginger mixture cool. Put the lemon zest and 3 tablespoons sugar in the food processor and process until the lemon peel is in small bits; or chop the lemon zest and pith by hand and then add the sugar. Add the lemon mixture to the ginger mixture. Stir and set aside. Put the butter in a mixing bowl and beat a second or two, add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and beat until smooth. Add the eggs and beat well. Add the buttermilk and mix until blended. Add the flour, salt and baking soda. Beat until smooth. Add the ginger-lemon mixture and mix well. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins so that each cup is 3/4 full. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Ben & Jerry’s Fresh Georgia Peach Ice Cream

2 c Ripe peaches; finely chopped

1 1/4 c Sugar

1/2 Juice of lemon

2 lg Eggs

2 c Heavy or whipping cream

1 c Milk

The best way to capture the elusive flavor of summertime. Ben and Jerry prefer small peaches because they have more flavor and less water than the larger ones. Combine the peaches, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring the mixture every 30 minutes. Remove the peaches from the refrigerator and drain the juice into another bowl. Return the peaches to the refrigerator. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend. Add the peach juice and blend. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following manufacturer’s instructions. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before if is done) add the peaches, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready. Makes 1 generous quart.

Banana Tea Loaf

2 Bananas; ripe, mashed

1/2 c Canola oil like Crisco;

2 lg Eggs;

2 tb Frozen orange/pineapp. conc.

1 3/4 c Flour;

2 ts Baking powder;

1/4 ts Baking soda;

1/2 ts Orange peel;

Cooking spray; Adapted from The Joslin Diabetes Gourmet Cookbook, 1993 which used 1 large egg white plus 6 tbsp. egg substitute, 1/8 tsp almond extract, orange juice concentrate, 2 cups unbleached flour and no orange peel. Original nutritional info. 1/18 recipe = 1 bread, 1 fat Joslin Exchanges 122 calories, 2 grams protein, 14 grams carbohydrate, 6 grams fat (44% of calories), trace cholesterol, 61 mg sodium, 105 mg potassium. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with waxed paper and spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine bananas, oil, beaten egg, juice concentrate and orange peel. Stir dry ingredients together and then stir them into banana mixture until just blended. Spread the batter in the pan and bake for 45 minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Cool in a pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice the first sample while the loaf is still warm. Comment in the original recipe states that the well-wrapped loaf keeps in the refrigerator and freezes well. Slice is smaller than a slice of regular bread (about half size). Tested with changes noted by Elizabeth Rodier, Jan 1994. To cut down on cholesterol use 1 whole egg and 2 whites, or home made egg substitute. When comparing bread recipes, consider serving size as well as calories. Does the serving taste good alone or would I add 1 tsp margarine (1 fat)? 1 tb peanut butter would add 1 fat exchange + 1 meat or 95 calories, 3

grams carb. 4 grams protein, 8.2 grams fat, 98 mg sodium 1 tb regular strawberry jam made of equal parts fruit and sugar would

add 54 calories, 14 grams carbohydrate or 1 fruit exchange
