Hello my friends! The temperatures are dropping here in San Diego and I can feel the seasons shifting, although we’re certain to have at least a few more hot weeks before the year ends. My neighbor says we’re in the midst of the battle between summer and fall, which I love. For now I’m basking in the mild weather and thanking my lucky stars for a break in the sweltering. I’m also squeezing in the last of the summer treats before I dive back into roasting winter squashes and simmering soups for hours over the stove. I found some pink plums at the market the other day and decided they would be the perfect way to celebrate the change of season, so I roasted them with a nod to fall and then turned them into ice cream as a farewell to summer. And oh me oh my, I’m so happy I did! With a richness from roasting, the flavor of the plums is sweet but not overt; delicate but also somehow decadent. Or maybe it was the dark chocolate and the toasted coconut (which I strongly recommend as a topping) that brought about the decadence. Either way, this ice cream will not disappoint. I hope you love! xx- Sarah
