Salt & Straw's New Ice Cream Series Brings In Fall With Loads Of Apple
BY MATTHEW SPINA
Typically, summer is the time for cold, sweet treats while fall evokes warm, spiced fare, but Salt & Straw's fall menu combines the best of both seasons with its Apple Series.
Through the end of September, Salt & Straw is serving its Apple Series, which features five apple-themed flavors and a seasonal pumpkin spice waffle cone.
The series includes Caramel Apple, made of apple sherbert with caramel ribbons, and Apple Cider Donuts, with royal icing ice cream, cinnamon-vanilla caramel, and hunks of streusel.
There's also an Apple and Pumpkin Pie mashup — the apple half is a vanilla custard with apples and shortbread, while the pumpkin pie is mixed with brown sugar ice cream.
Black Currant Apple Cider turns Finnriver's limited-release hard cider, Autumn Blush, into a pâte de fruits candy mixed into an apple-and-black-currant infused sherbet.
Finally, there's the Green Apple Wasabi Sorbet. The juiced wasabi and green apple juice lend a light warmth to the sorbet, which is mixed with red and golden delicious apples.
