Notes

  1. Watch pine nuts carefully - They burn fast, so stir them often.
  2. Use fresh nuts - Old nuts taste bad.
  3. Add cream slowly - This stops eggs from cooking.
  4. Cool mixture first - Cold mix makes better ice cream.
  5. Don't skip straining - This makes smooth Pinon Ice Cream Recipe.
