Cinnamon Honey Ice Cream with Rum Raisins

For the ice cream:

2 cups heavy cream
2 cups light cream
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup local honey
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered GF vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
An ice cream freezer with instructions

For the raisins:
1 cup mixed raisins
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup water

For the ice cream:

Scald the heavy cream and light cream with 1/2 cup of sugar in a saucepan. Transfer to the top of a double boiler over hot water.

In a bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until the mixture forms thick pale yellow ribbons dripping from the beater.

Gradually add a little of the cream mixture to the egg mixture, a half cup at a time, beating constantly until you have added about half the cream to the egg mixture. Then add the resulting mixture to the remaining cream mixture in the double boiler. Stirring gently and constantly, heat the custard mixture until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove the double boiler from the heat, and stir in the spices and the honey.

Pour the mixture into a shallow pan and chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours until cold. Transfer the mixture to the ice cream freezer and freeze. Serve with rum raisins.

For the raisins:

Boil the raisins, sugar and water for about 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Transfer the raisins to a Mason jar and add an equal quantity of GF rum. Let stand until the raisins are fattened - a few hours. Serve the raisins with the ice cream, but not to minors.
