I found 10lbs of plums in the Whole Foods dumpster (you read that right! Dumpster!) and our food processor from our wedding registry comes tomorrow. Cannot wait to give this a try!

[@DanielleSW]

Look up the New York Times' Plum Torte! It's my go-to with plums and freezes beautifully

[@geraldthethird8082]

That’s awesome.

[@tnt6715]

I'm vegan so I prepare with extra creamy oat milk and blueberries... Omgoodness! Heavenly! Also I used silicone molds and they pop right out! Ty for this😁

[@jolene2172]

Thanks for sharing a non dairy version - inspired to try it now 👍🏻

[@sherriekemper1828]

We freeze mangos chunks when they're on sale and combine with bananas and/or pineapples that are a bit overripe and frozen. Really delicious.

[@thesleepyhollowhomestead]

This is such a good idea! I never would have thought about making gelato to preserve fruit. I love how low sugar it is, too!

[@jillboyd6598]

You have outdone yourself with class here.

[@Natchel100]

I’ve been to Italy a few times. And I always try to search up black currant gelato. It is unbelievably delicious.

[@mf3610]

You always have recipe ideas that are unique and not the same as every other channel. Thank you!

[@Lex-xy2er]

A local ice cream maker had peony gelato a few months ago made with fresh peonies from his garden, it was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted! I will definitely be growing a bed of peonies next year to make some. Our peaches are about ready to come off the trees on our homestead, I'll definitely be making gelato with some of them! So yummy, thanks for sharing.

[@susantschirhart7494]

Made this using a can of full-fatted coconut milk, instead of whole milk, with peaches. Very smooth and creamy-- may need to adjust the sweetener a bit and I added vanilla... we've decided it's a hit! Going to try this with other fruits!

[@deboramagdziarz2714]

Shaye, thank you for sharing the title, The Olive Farm. I used to enjoy watching All Creatures Great and Small when I was a young woman and liked Carol Drinkwater so much as Mrs Herriot! I know I’m going to love audible and the Olive Farm series.

Lemon, Mint + rosemary sorbet is definitely a winner preservation combination!

[@tikkasmom2369]

I have to tell you this is my favorite! I made nectarine, sent some home with my Grandson, he called and said it was so good I could sell it. Lol of course I made him lots more. Favorite recipe of the summer

When you got out the pot to boil milk I thought, "I'm not doing that...". I'm so glad I stuck around. We have so much fruit to put up and this looked amazingly easy and delicious! Thank you! I think I'll start with an Apricot Lavender gelato. Side note: we live in central WA and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing what local store you got your containers at? I prefer to buy locally over Amazon, if at all possible.

[@hannahshomecreated]

Apricot Lavender sounds delish!

[@thejoyfullilyandco9537]

[@kimberlymayeux-maillet2363]

Love listening to your calming voice and all that I have learned thus far from you, thank you.

[@coletter.4191]

I just did peaches, honey and nutmeg. Wonderful ! I also simply reused a yogourt container. Alternatively, a cottage cheese, or ice cream container can do the job just fine. No need to reinstert new waist into the cycle when there are so many things we can easily reuse. I also infuse all the honey at once in the milk together with the nutmeg. Thank you for sharing this easy way to use ripe fruits. :)

[@ruthiewhite34]

I currently have an abundance of figs from my trees. So, I figure why not fig gelato?! Used your recipe and it was delicious! Even my non-fig loving husband enjoyed a scoop of this in his ice cream cone. Thanks for the idea!

[@KadarineTTV]

wow! never knew how gelato was made thats really great ill have to do this too!

[@jessbucher1210]

This sounds wonderful! We plan to go blueberry picking this week and I plan to try this. Thinking of doing a blueberry mint combination! Thank you for continued inspiration!!

[@theheritagehousesc]

I don’t know why I never thought of that! I have tons of frozen fruit in the freezer for smoothies. Another way to utilize them. Thanks for the delish idea!

[@SarahAbplanalp]

What a great idea :) I just made up something similar, but it was a mix of fruit with just heavy cream... It was also quite good! Since I included a ripe banana in there it sweetened it enough to where I didn't need to add sugar. I'm thinking I'll make your recipe soon though! How fun

[@christinamunson314]

We just picked 8 pounds of blueberries this morning - I was just going to freeze them for smoothies but this is such a great idea!

[@janellebaughman4103]

Made this tonight with peaches, honey, dash of cinnamon. Soooo good! Cherry almond is definitely next in the list. Thanks for sharing!

[@Imjetta7]

Awesome! I’m so doing this! I have to use a non dairy milk, but it seems it will work just fine. Thank you!

[@heatherhirata1373]

For the past few summers I’ve made cantaloupe ice cream in a very similar way and it’s an awesome way to use up those beautiful ripe melons! No additional sweetener needed if very ripe.

[@juliacolton1259]

They look delicious, and so simple too. I would think it would also be good if you infused some herbs or spices in the milk for extra flavour. I’m thinking of bay or cardamom, both of which are good with berries. But I guess the choice is endless.

[@nessalia70]

Even more simple...Put in the food processor the fruit from the freezer, some greek yoghurt and what you choose to sweet... And back in the freezer for a little time if it is too soft...Or you leave it for later there 😋

[@samanthadionm.3726]

finally watched this episode! such a great idea cant believe i didnt watch it over the summer!

[@debbieherman2410]

Thank you. Gelato is on my preserving list now.

[@fourseasonsnorth]

Wonderful idea! We'll have to try this with our raspberries and saskatoons. Maybe even our blackcurrants... that'd be some powerful! Thanks for sharing and bringing us into your lovely kitchen again :)

I love coming to you're channel because I genuinely learn and am inspired here ❤️

My mum used to make something quite similar than your gelato for us, and I loved the plum-version. What about an adult-version-gelato: Raspberry with Amaretto?

[@sarahfox3312]

That’s so funny. I thought that’s what she was going to add.

[@joanneganon7157]

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

Hi Shaye, our fruit trees did not produce this year due to the extreme heat here in central Texas. 37 days with no rain and temps 104-109. We went to our large farmers market and pick up some varieties. Mike is a retired Executive Chef and loves the cooking on the channels we follow. We both work from home and really enjoy your channel. We do a variety of cooking on our channel as well as gardening and fun day trips. Many blessing to your family, Rochelle

I'll get some fruit today, namely blackberries. My favourite gelato in italy was the blackberry one, so I will give it a go using this recipie! Can't wait. Might strain out some of the seeds though..

[@DonnaBorooah]

Oh my goodness. Exciting! If you have extra time, infuse the milk with the cherry pits as well as the almond extract.

[@muddyacres9334]

Wow, Shaye!! This was incredible!! Overly ripe but still good plums, honey and cinnamon! My mouth is SO happy! Thank you!!!

I’ve never thought to do it for fruit preservation, but one of my favorite ways to make gelato is with blueberries! It’s easy and delicious. I just do it with the blueberries we freeze in early summer.

[@katiehamilton9206]

Pumpkin spice gelato would be an interesting way to preserve pumpkin in the fall

Ooo. Peach with some cinnamon sprinkled in the milk mixture and sweetened with honey! Plum with cinnamon and clove.

[@jenniferkessener1111]

This looks so good, thank you for showing us how it is done. I wonder if I could make it with a milk alternative, like coconut milk? Worth a try!

[@thepadillafamilyhomestead]

I am thinking the same thing.

[@wendyullstrom1351]

I have the same question🤔

[@meganmackenzie5993]

Or a sorbet, as that doesn't require milk.

[@calebprewer2718]

We use coconut milk straight from the can and into the food processor with frozen berries. Because the coconut milk is naturally sweet tasting you just need to add a couple of tablespoons of sweetener (or a frozen ripe banana!).

[@rhondashotwell7358]

mango-raspberry gelato is a really good combination. I am eyeballing for 2/3 mango and 1/3 raspberries. I add honey and vanilla, and a bit of milk or even vanilla creamer- it's super good.

[@amydumas7823]

I'd be curious to try making ground cherry gelato (it'd taste similar to pineapple), but its so full of tiny seeds. Would you potentially blender the fruit, sieve the seeds out and then do the muffin tin pucks? I imagine you'd do that with figs as well?

[@jacquelinewelch2033]

Peaches and cream is always a hit. Blackberry/honey might be a nice way to bring a summer taste into your wintertime. I wonder if a lemon or citrus (maybe pink grapefruit) gelato would be welcomed on a cold night.

[@melissalan8105]

Oh thank you!! What a good idea!

[@lisaporria7307]

Those flavors sound amazing! Do you roast your pumpkin first?

[@rebekahmiller8699]

How do you make the cucumber and basil gelato? That sounds amazing!

[@awkwardanimagus767]

@@lisaporria7307 You can totally roast it first 👍 I usually steam it (but roasting would definitely give it more flavor) because that doesn’t dry out the pumpkin (and I have an easy lazy steam function on my oven 🤣) and then make a mash of it that I mix with the spices and then put in ice cube trays to freeze. Depending on how moist your pumpkin ends up being you might need to add some liquid to it before you freeze it, but my steamed pumpkin doesn’t need any usually. 👍 I think you could even do it with canned pumpkin (like you can buy for pies), if you like 🤔 Good luck!

[@awkwardanimagus767]

@@rebekahmiller8699 it really isn’t all that difficult! 😊 You can pretty much use the recipe that is given in the video but just substitute the fruit with peeled (or unpeeled for a darker green gelato), chopped and frozen cucumber and fresh basil to taste (don’t add too much because the flavor will overpower the cucumber flavor very quickly). Whether to sweeten it or not is 100% personal preference 😋 I usually add some sugar syrup to it (but really not much), but it is also really great without sugar in it because then you taste the cucumber better 😊 Also I kind of like it when they aren’t super sweet. And then you can add a scoop or two to cocktails as well! Seriously, a gin tonic with a scoop of cucumber/basil gelato (or sorbet if you leave out the milk) is AMAZING on a hot day! 😋 Good luck!
