STAR ANISE ICE CREAM
Star anise's licorice-like flavor is what sets this ice cream apart. This version is adapted from the one served at Geordy's restaurant in San Francisco, where the custard is made with all cream, no milk. Time given does not include chilling time for the custard. For the freezing time I'm going by my ice cream machine, yours may be different.

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan combine the milk, the cream, the sugar, and the star anise, bring the mixture just to a boil, and remove the pan from the heat.
- In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks, add the cream mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the mixture back into the pan.
- Cook the custard over moderately low heat, stirring, until it registers 170ºF on a candy thermometer, strain it through a fine sieve set over another bowl, and let it cool completely.
- Stir in the Pernod and freeze the custard in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
STAR ANISE ICE CREAM
Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan, bring the milk, heavy cream, star anise, and vanilla bean to a simmer for a few minutes. Turn off, and allow to steep for 10 minutes.
- Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt together, long enough to dissolve the sugar.
- Temper hot liquid into egg mixture. Return all back into saucepan. Over low heat stirring all the while until mixture starts to thicken, strain through chinois. Chill immediately over ice bath.
- Churn in a standard ice cream machine.
PEAR-STAR ANISE ICE CREAM
I can't decide whether I love the color-a pale celadon-or the exotic flavor of this ice cream more. The pear causes the base to have a thinner consistency than some other ice creams have before freezing, but the final texture is lovely. It's hard to peg the flavor as star anise in the ice cream, because the spice mellows with the cold and the cream, but it's addictive. This isn't a scoop-in-a-cone kind of dessert, but an elegant cookie on the side would be nice.

Steps:
- Combine the cream, milk, salt, and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the star anise and immediately remove from the heat. Allow the cream mixture to steep for about 30 minutes.
- Stem and core the pears, then pulse in the food processor until you get a chunky purée. Strain the purée by pushing through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids with a spatula or the bottom of a ladle. You should end up with about 2 cups of liquid. Discard the solids. Put the pear liquid in a saucepan and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
- Add the pear syrup to the cream mixture and bring to a boil over high heat.
- While that mixture heats, place the egg yolks in a large heatproof bowl. Once the cream mixture has reached a rapid boil, remove from the heat and pour approximately 1 cup of the liquid over the yolks, whisking furiously. After the cream mixture is fully incorporated and the yolks are tempered, pour in the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly as you do. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container. Add the vanilla and stir to combine. Refrigerate until completely cold, then pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
