Goat cheese and honey ice cream and Seed & Brown bean crackers, Rhubarb pickles and Rose hip sugar.

Three mandatory ingredients;
1) Öland Island Brown Beans
2) Jämtland Cellar Matured Goat Cheese
3) Immigrated product which now is a part of Swedish food culture (I chose Rhubarb – a favorite immigrant)

Goat cheese ice cream

4 large egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
75 grams cellar matured goat cheese 300 ml heavy cream
170 gram honey 300 ml whole milk

Directions

1. Place the softened, crumbled goat cheese in a medium bowl, and gradually whisk in the cream until smooth (being careful not to over-whisk and make whipped goat cheese butter). Place a strainer over the bowl and set aside.
2. Place the egg yolks in another medium bowl. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the milk with the honey and salt until steamy and hot, stirring frequently. Don’t let the mixture simmer or boil. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the pot and cook over a low flame, stirring constantly with a heatproof silicone spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and/or registers 76o C (170oF). Immediately strain into the goat cheese mixture.
3. Place over an ice bath and stir until cold put it in fridge over night. When the mixture is chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Scrape the ice cream into a jar or pan, cover with a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper pressed directly to the surface of the ice cream, and freeze until firm, 3 hours or up to a month or two.
