Carey'S Favorite Rum Raisin Ice Cream Recipe

1. 1

   Combine raisins and rum in small bowl. Cover; let stand at room temperature at least 2 hours (I've found better results with a 3-4 hour soak). Drain raisins, reserving 1/2 cup rum (or 1/4 cup, if you like your ice cream less boozy). Combine drained raisins and reserved rum in same bowl.

2. 2

   Bring milk and whipping cream to boil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and sugar in large bowl until blended and slightly lightened in color. Gradually whisk warm ingredients into yolk mixture. Return mixture to saucepan; stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens, about 15 minutes. (The custard should coat the back of a spoon, and a finger swipe down the back of the spoon should leave a clean line.) Strain custard into bowl. Cool. Add raisin mixture to custard. Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours.

3. 3

   Transfer custard to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Freeze ice cream in covered container until firm enough to scoop, at least 2 hours.
