Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) fresh rhubarb, finely diced
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 pinch (1g) salt
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream, chilled
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, chilled
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
Instructions:
- Combine diced rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down and the liquid reduces into a glossy, syrupy consistency (approx. 10–15 minutes).
- Transfer the jam to a bowl and chill completely in the refrigerator.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sugar and salt into the whole milk until the sugar grains have completely dissolved.
- Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
- Cover and chill the base for at least 6 hours (or overnight) to allow the fats to stabilize.
- Pour the chilled base into your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer directions.
- When the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, stop the machine.
- Layer 1/3 of the ice cream into a freezer container, followed by 1/3 of the chilled rhubarb jam. Repeat layers.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently drag the jam through the cream in a figure-eight motion to create a swirl.
- Freeze for an additional 4 hours to harden.
