In addition to the sweet potato soup, last time I was at Sam’s for dinner with Terry– Sam served us these. Holy moly I could drink 100 of them. So good. And probably dangerous.
For new years eve- Sam and Jared stayed in a cooked a gorgeous and delicious meal. Sam made these– (pardon the belated posting) here is what she had to say about it :
Above all, the easiest creation that I made and imagine we will repeat to please future guests at our place was the tangerine ice. So delicious and totally celebratory. We poured champagne over and added maple bitters – a great start to 2012.
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups freshly squeezed tangerine juice (about 3 pounds)
Juice of 2 large limes
2 tablespoons orange liqueur or kirsch. Sam used Creme de framboise
Champagne, optional.
Maple bitters- Sam added and if you have– it really makes a great addition
1. Put the sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk with 1 cup tangerine juice
until thoroughly dissolved. Stir in the rest of the tangerine juice,
the lime juice, and the orange liqueur or kirsch. Mix well.
2. Pour the mixture into a storage container to a depth of 1 inch, or
into a zippered plastic freezer bag (she used a ziploc.) Cover or seal well and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
3. To serve, chop the frozen mixture roughly with a spatula, then
spoon into glasses. Top with a little chilled Champagne if you wish. And a few drops of Maple Bitters.
