Here are the special Thanksgiving scoops:

Salted caramel Thanksgiving turkey

Salt and Straw

The salted caramel Thanksgiving turkey ice cream features crispy turkey skin from Diestel Family Ranch. The pieces or turkey skin are then folded in along with caramel brittle before house-made caramel is stuffed with aromatics and basted with duck fat for extra richness.

Sweet potato casserole with maple pecans

Salt and Straw

Enjoy a bite of chilled casserole with sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Whipped maple fluff and crunchy pecan praline are folded into the velvety ice cream.

Roasted peach and sage cornbread stuffing

Salt and Straw

Salt and Straw have experimented with a stuffing recipe, replacing bread cubes with molasses-y, crumbly cornbread cookies and sweet cream with fresh sage. Dollops of tart peach jam brighten it all up for a complex, woodsy ice cream.

Vegan cranberry juniper sorbet

Salt and Straw

Organic cranberries from Starvation Alley in Long Beach, Washington are kettle-simmered low and slow until they pop, and then spiked with juniper to bring out a refreshingly vibrant tanginess.
