• Pour juices from cherries into glass cup. Add kirsch. Add enough red wine to measure 1 cup. Stir 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in heavy small saucepan until no lumps remain. Gradually whisk in wine mixture, then cherries. Cook over medium-high heat until sauce boils, thickens and is translucent, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in almond extract. (Sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before serving.)
• Divide vanilla ice cream among bowls. Spoon warm sauce over and serve immediately.

CHERRY-VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM WITH CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Make sauce:
• Combine cherries and sugar in heavy large saucepan; toss to coat. Let stand until juices form, about 2 hours. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid thickens slightly, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in brandy. Transfer 1 cup cherry mixture to small bowl; reserve for use in ice cream. Mix preserves into remaining cherry mixture in saucepan; reserve for sauce. Chill both cherry mixtures separately at least 2 hours. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
• Make ice cream:
• Pour half and half into heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to boil. Remove from heat; steep 30 minutes. Whisk sugar and yolks in medium bowl to blend well. Bring half and half to simmer. Gradually whisk hot half and half into yolk mixture. Return mixture to same saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 4 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat. Mix in whipping cream and vanilla. Refrigerate until cold, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours.
• Using ice cream maker, process custard until almost firm, following manufacturer's instructions; add reserved 1 cup cherry mixture. Process until ice cream firms, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer to container; cover and freeze. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
• Scoop ice cream into bowls. Top with reserved sauce and serve.

CHERRY BROWN BUTTER CROSTATA WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM AND CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• For the ice cream: In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, and vanilla bean. Bring just to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat.
• In a small bowl, combine the eggs and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat to a homogeneous consistency.
• Strain a third of the cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisk to combine, and then immediately whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the cream. Chill in an ice bath and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Churn in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• For the crust: Combine the butter, flour and salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture looks like grated Parmesan. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of the ice water, and pulse until the mixture forms a rough ball, adding the remaining 2 tablespoons ice water if needed. Remove the dough from the food processor and form into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• For the filling: Melt the butter in a small saucepan and cook it until it starts to brown and begins to smell like hazelnuts. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle. Add the sugar and beat on medium speed.
• Gradually add the flour. Once the flour has combined, add the eggs, one at a time. Beat in the vanilla bean seeds.
• To assemble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll out the dough to a 1/8-inch thickness, and cut into 4 rounds. Lay the rounds in four 4-inch ring molds, leaving lots of overhang on the sides. Schmear the filling into the bottom of the ring molds, and top with the cherries. Fold the overhanging dough over the cherries. Brush the dough with the egg wash. Bake until golden brown and crispy on top, 45 to 50 minutes.
• For the caramel: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water. Bring the pan to medium-high heat; while doing so, be careful not to swish the pan around--it could cause the sugar to recrystallize. As the sugar mixture boils, the water will eventually evaporate and the sugar will begin to turn brown, or "caramelize." Pay close attention! Things can take a terrible turn for the worse here, and there will be no recovery. As the sugar turns gold, followed by light brown, and then a pale shade of darker brown, remove it from the heat and add the heavy cream. Be careful when you do this--it will bubble up like crazy, and getting it on you could cause a severe burn! Be sure to have a saucepan large enough to accommodate the bubbling up. Whisk until things settle down, then add the butter, 2 pats at a time, whisking until completely incorporated before adding more butter.
• Spread some of the caramel onto four serving plates. Unmold the crostatas and set them on top of the caramel. Top with a scoop of ice cream.

CHERRY VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the eggs until it is pale yellow. Beat in the flour and salt and set aside.
• Bring the milk to a simmer in a heavy saucepan. Slowly beat hot milk into the eggs and sugar mixture. Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the custard thickens slightly. Do not let the mixture boil.
• Remove from heat. Strain the custard into a clean bowl. Cool slightly then refrigerate until cold or overnight.
• Stir the custard. Turn machine on and freeze according to your machine's instructions.
• Add the maraschino cherries when the ice cream is semi-frozen and allow the machine to mix the fruit inches.
• The ice cream will be soft and ready to eat. If you like firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer container and freeze for at least 2 hours.

FARMHOUSE GOAT CHEDDAR ICE CREAM SUNDAES WITH CHERRY VANILLA SAUCE, SPICED WALNUTS AND THYME WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• For the ice cream: In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepot, bring the goat's milk and cream to a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheese, granulated sugar and salt. Blend the cheese mixture in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Freeze the cheese mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container and put in the freezer to harden, at least 2 hours. Let the ice cream soften 5 minutes before serving.
• For the cherry vanilla sauce: Combine the cherries, orange juice, granulated sugar and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean and add the bean. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil 1 minute. Strain into a bowl. Reserve the cherries. Return the juices from the bowl, cinnamon stick and vanilla bean to the same pan. Mix the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; stir into the juices in the pan. Stir over medium heat until the juices boil and thicken, about 1 minute. Mix in the reserved cherries. Chill the compote 2 hours.
• For the walnuts: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Lightly butter a large shallow pan.
• Whisk together the egg white and 1 teaspoon water in a large bowl until frothy. Stir in the nuts. Stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, pepper and cloves, and then stir into the nuts, coating well. Spread the nuts in the prepared pan and bake in the middle of the oven until dry, about 50 minutes. Cool and break into bite-size chunks.
• For the whipped cream: Beat the cream, granulated sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl until peaks form. Stir in the thyme leaves.
