This past holiday weekend, I can now scratch off three more flavors of Jeni’s that I’ve tried: Influenza Sorbet, Thai Chili and Red Hot Apple Cider sorbet.
I wasn’t as crazy about Thai Chili but really enjoyed the Influenza Sorbet and Apple Cider (though no one else in my family seemed as wowed by the Influenza Sorbet nor did they find the name as funny as I did). This sorbet, which contains OJ, Maker’s Mark and cayenne pepper, starts of somewhat sweet and refreshing then kinda burns (in a good way) down your throat. It’s different, but good. Really good.
In an e-mail from Jeni (Britton), she shares her picks for must-try holiday flavors: Blackstrap praline, Makenzie Creamery goat cheese with cognac figs and brown butter almond brittle (the brittle is made in their kitchen with brown butter, sugar and almonds).
And how cool is this – check out the bottom right of the above picture. That’s Jeni’s getting some love from Vogue in their annual gift guide.
As far as a retail presence in Cleveland goes, she said they are still considering it. “We would love to do it, but just have to make it all work with production,” she explained.
One last tidbit she shared. Apparently Anthony Bourdain was recently in Columbus visiting with her (for an upcoming show I assume?) and was talking highly – and a lot, about Cleveland. Of course he was, we’re awesome!
If you haven’t tried Jeni’s yet, get youself to Miles Farmers Market to purchase a few pints (Greenhouse Tavern has on their menu, too). Best. Ice cream. Ever.
And thanks for all the love!!! Thai Chili might be my favorite also - especially at our shops where we make the One Night in Bangkok Sundae - Thai Chili ice cream with our caramel, a banana, Spanish peanuts, hand-whipped Snowville Creamery cream!
