Rum & Raisin Ice Cream
Try this Rum & Raisin Ice Cream from Adrian Forte’s new cookbook Yawd.
“This traditional Jamaican ice-cream flavor always reminds me of home. On the occasional Sunday (as a rare treat), after an early dinner, my family would shower, get into our Sunday best, and head over to Devon House, an old Jamaican mansion where ice-cream vendors would gather. We would all get to pick our favorite flavor and then run around the property. You can probably guess which flavor I chose.”
