Please tell me how you make homemade fig ice cream. We have two mature fig trees and I'd love to make it.
Marrying well is the trick.

It’s always been SWMBO. It’s a standard vanilla base, plus (chopped/crushed) fig preserves. When the fig trees fruit, we get a few buckets and she preserves the figs with lemon and sugar. I can ask the recipe.

You swirl in the fig preserves pulp into the churning ice cream until you have a nice swirl—it’s not 100% fig, just enough for flavor and some in the occasional bite. Not so it’s too sweet.

I am with you on this genre. For that reason you must try Ben and Jerry’s Peanut Butter World. Only available at Target. Best I’ve had that is widely available.

Tillamook Chocolate Peanut Butter is another good one.

Yeah, and don't tell the ice cream snobs, but I've moved on to Tillamook myself.

Don't tell Mayfield I'm cheatin' tho.

To be honest it isn't so much the flavor of the ice cream but who you share it with. But to give an answer to the OP: #1 Daiquiri Ice and 2) Black Walnut.
