Are you a boring ice cream person or an adventurous ice cream person? You know, are you the type that strictly sticks with chocolate or vanilla or are you the type that likes their ice cream a little bit more complex and exotic? This recipe is for the people in the latter group.
It's for Roast Plums with Honey and Yogurt Ice Cream, from the book Formulas For Flavor by John Campbell. Keiko at this blog found the recipe, tried it, and says it's quite good. You roast the plums in bay leaves, pink peppercorns, star anise, and vanilla beans. It's served with honey and yogurt ice cream.
Speaking of bay leaves, the cook seems to be very into them, even making Bay Leaf Creme Caramel.

For real decadence, go for grilled stone fruit.
Grilled plums, nectarines, plumcots, and peaches, (pick them ripe; but, not too ripe,) are just fantastic! You can toss them with sugar or a flavored syrup after grilling for a sweeter effect, or leave them in their natural state for a semi-savory taste. Mmmmm!
