Pumpkin Rumtini

I found an ingenious use for my luscious pumpkin rum sorbet. What does Grubarazzi do with a cup of sorbet waiting patiently to be eaten in the freezer? Make ice cold, creamy Pumpkin Rumtini’s! 

It’s like re-gifting… to myself!




Watch out. You will want to slurp these up faster than you can say “yummy”, but you might go to bed early after drinking one of these (I do not know this from experience). I will be making a double batch of my pumpkin rum sorbet just to drink these babies with my family on Christmas.




What You Will Need 

A cocktail shaker  
2 martini glasses, chilled
1 cup of pumpkin rum sorbet (recipe here)
1 tablespoon of real maple syrup
2 ounces Amarula
4 ounces of Gosling’s Black Seal Rum
A handful of golden raisins, soaked in rum



Allow the pumpkin sorbet to soften slightly (or microwave for 20 seconds).  Place all of the ingredients in to cocktail shaker, cover, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Pour in to chilled martini glasses and garnish with rum soaked golden raisins.

    Lovely photos - unfortunately I would slurp these up in 2 gulps... GULP! Now you see it, now you don't. The garnish is a cool idea, too.

    That is SUCH a good idea! I was making some of David Lebovitz's vanilla ice cream one time and for some reason tasted it before I churned it. It was like the best coffee creamer ever. Now I use a scoop of ice cream in my coffee all the time, because the flavors are virtually unlimited!

Grilled Asparagus Salad with Fried Quail Eggs

The Baltimore Farmer’s Market was beaming with pride as the stalls opened for the season on Sunday morning, and it has good reason to be prideful. It was recently voted #1 Farmer’s Market in the nation by Country Living.   Since it was 7:00 am after a long night out I was appropriately armed with coffee, sun glasses, and hippy-ass reusable tote bags. Asparagus has been in the forefront of my thoughts since eating a memorably crisp asparagus salad at Woodberry Kitchen . When I saw a pile of garden-fresh spears I couldn’t resist getting a few bundles for the week as well as my fair share of blue kale, foraged mushrooms, spinach, organic quail eggs, ramps, and a multitude of other goodies.   It is going to be a wonderfully food-filled week. Grilled Asparagus Salad with Fried Quail Eggs utilizes many of the seasonal ingredients I scored at the market. It’s only lightly seasoned to give the ingredients the stage. Fresh tarragon is laced throughout and the yolk from the gent...

Warm Zucchini Thread Salad

I am a sucker for fun knife cuts. If a recipe involves playing with knives and slicing vegetables, count me in. This isn’t to say I am entirely comfortable with my skills although I have been taught my entire life how to clean, sharpen and respect a chef’s knife (thanks, Daddy). It has more to do with the feeling I get when I focus on a repetitive creative undertaking. When I was a child my parents were folk artists who worked diligently to pump out their hand crafted art like machines. My mother used to sit behind this tall wooden work bench listening to talk radio while she painted hundreds of beautiful little cottages, pretty letters, animals, and trees. Sometimes, depending on the holiday, every surface would be covered with tiny hand painted Santas, bunnies or turkeys. I learned at a young age how to meticulously paint small wooden objects, and made a game to see how many I could paint in an hour. It was tedious, consistent, and amusing work much like chopping vegetables. These d...

A Recipe to Fall For

Some recipes evoke an absolute carnal lust in me that transcends reasoning. My mouth waters frenziedly, my eyes get big, and my smile widens with the anticipation of the feast. These lust inducing meals usually involve bacon, cheese and pasta covered in luscious red sauce. I am fairly certain my lineage does not contain a trace of Italian, but my favorite foods are profoundly Italian-American like these Meatballs in Bacon Sauce by Chef Beau MacMillan.   This is not my recipe; however, I felt it deserved a special place on my blog after I dotingly made it for extended family on a recent ski trip to Whistler, Canada. The smell of the sauce simmering for hours, the gentle roasting of the simple meatballs and the absolute joy on the faces of everyone who ate it reminds me what Valentine’s Day is all about: love and family. If you make this for someone special tonight they will fall in love with you on the spot.  That is a fact. Happy Valentine’s Day! Sp...
