It’s so hot and I had a craving for a fruity ice cream. I just had a tiny bit left of my Rosemary Walnut one, the last I made, and I knew there was not enough to satiate my need for a cool treat. But I had no large quantity of fruits at home and no way was I going out into the furnace exterior.
But I had a new jar of strawberry jam! I am feeling a lazy way out of this one…and it was worth it even if not the real deal! I love the added touch of balsamic vinegar as it really enhances the favor of the fruit and cut the sugary jam taste.
Very simple yet very rewarding!
Ξ Strawberry Jam Balsamic Ice Cream Ξ
1 cup light cream
1 cup milk
3/4 cup strawberry jam (or any jam you have)
1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
– Add the jam and milk into bowl and whisk until jam has broken up. Mix in the cream and balsamic vinegar.
– Use ice cream maker and prepare according to manufacturer’s instructions.
OR
– Spoon chilled custard into shallow metal pan, freeze until almost firm, about 3 hours. Break into chunks; puree in food processor.
– Pack into airtight container and freeze until firm, about 2 hour.
So good you'll like the paddle clean!
Wow! This looks absolutely fantastic! I found you through the secret recipe club, and now I’ll just have to keep coming back.
This looks so good and sounds very interesting! I’ve never had ice cream with balsamic vinegar in it but I’d love to try it! Thanks for sharing the recipe! 🙂
Strawberries and balsamic vinegar…nothing screams summer more than these two ingredients combined. If I run out of fresh strawberries (it’s not as if they’re readily available here anyway), you betcha I’d be reaching for the jam jar too! Your love affair with the ice cream machine is something I can totally relate to. In fact, we’re still in our first throes of passion! LOL.
This sounds delicious! I’ve never made ice cream with jam…but I’m about to!
It looks so creamy! I’ve been turning to sorbet and beer to beat the heat :-).
Hi Moinette, Thank you so much for the comment. Here is how to turn any ice cream maker recipe into a ‘manual’ one:
Spoon chilled custard into shallow metal pan, freeze until almost firm,
about 3 hours. Break into chunks; purée in food processor. Pack into
airtight container and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
Oh, I love balsamic with strawberries! I would never have dreamed of combining them in ice cream until today…and I approve!!! What a wonderful, cool treat!
WOW! Balsamic vinegar! I love the “secret” ingredient in the recipe. My curiosity is peaked! :-O Looks delicious!
Jam is a such a great shortcut. I love the hint of vinegar in the flavor.
Yummy this looks so delicious! 🙂
Mmm! I’ve always wanted to try making actual ice cream at home, but am always put off by the intensive instructions I find in recipes. This is a useful cheat for people like me =3. Bookmarked!

Yum what a unique flavor combo for ice cream! I love how few ingredients there are too.
Sounds like an excellent treat, great with the addition of balsamic vinegar!
Great and easy recipe. I love ice cream and the falvour is fantastic.
Really nice and easy recipe, plus low fat:) Balsamic vinegar in ice cream sounds unique
Necessity is the mother of invention, and I like how you coped! Esp. with the balsamic, nice touch.
