Serious Vanilla Ice Cream: Reloaded

 inspired by Alton Brown

 2 cups half and half

1 cup heavy cream

2 Tbsp vanilla bean paste

1/2 cup sugar

1/8 tsp kosher salt

 Heat over medium heat, stiring frequently until the temp reaches 185F.  

 

 

1/4 cup water 

1-2 Tbsp liquid pectic

1/4 cup water 

Heat over medium high, bring to a boil and boil for exactly 1 minute.

Whisk into dairy mixture until fully combined.

Alton says to cool down in an ice bath to room temp, then cover and refrigerate, but I just cool it on the counter to room temp and put in the fridge.  Then pour into the frozen ice cream maker.
