It is amazing how well vanilla and rye go together. We added 30 grams of rye to our vanilla ice cream base, and it amped up the flavors of the vanilla and the sweet dairy. It added a richness and complexity to the base. Until we made it, we did not know what we were missing. Since making this ice cream, we have used rye as a seasoning in other applications, from lobster stock to marinating steaks. Perhaps it is not just the vanilla rye combination that works; it may be the developed flavors of the rye, which complement and enhance many other ingredients.
