Adzuki Ice Cream (Japanese Red Beans Ice Cream Ingredients 1 cup dry adzuki beans 1/3 cup white sugar 2 tsp. lemon juice 3-1/2 cups water 1 cup each milk, heavy cream 4 egg yolks 2/3 cup white sugar 1 tsp, vanilla extract Directions In a saucepan, combine adzuki beans, 1/3 cup of sugar, lemon juice and water. Bring to a boil, and boil uncovered for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2-1/2 - 3 hours, or until beans are very tender. When done, beans and liquid should amount to 3 cups. If not, add more water to compensate. Strain bean mixture through a sieve -- I use a wooden paddle for this, and discard bean skins. Refrigerate about 2 hours, or until cold. In a saucepan, combine milk and cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat. While you wait for that to boil, whisk egg yolks and 2/3 cup of sugar in a medium bowl. When cream and milk come to a boil, ladle about 1/4 cup of hot liquid into bowl with egg yolks, and whisk until smooth. Pour yolk mixture into pan with cream, and cook over low heat until thick enough to coat back of a metal spoon. This should take about 5 minutes. Do not cook too long, or you will get lumps. Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla. Refrigerate until cold. Once both mixtures are cold, stir them together. Pour into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to mfgr's instructions.
