ABC Wednesday-The Letter I
This week on ABC Wednesday we are talking about the letter I, and the first thing that came to my mind is ICE CREAM!!
Some times when we eat ICE Cream we buy it at the local Ice Cream Parlor. As you can see from this photo my 2 year old grandson is enjoying his favorite flavor.
There are so many flavors of IceCream at the store, we can't always decide which one to buy, so we buy alot.
To me any flavor of ice cream taste good, but my very favorite kind of ice cream is the homemade kind. When I was a kid we had the old fashioned ice cream freezer that you had to crank by hand. Now day of course we use an electric one, but it still turns out really yummy. I thought you might like to try some for your self so here is a recipe for you. Enjoy your Wednesday and be sure and visit The home of ABC Wednesday
Old-Fashioned Homemade Ice Cream
6 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
13-ounce can evaporated milk (1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons)
1 gallon whole milk
chipped ice
rock salt
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs. Add sugar gradually, stirring constantly. Add salt, vanilla and canned milk. Add about a pint of the fresh milk and mix.
Pour mixture into ice cream freezer can. Add enough of the remainder of the milk to fill can to the middle of the top board of dasher. (If the freezer can has a "fill" line on it, fill no higher than that line.)
Assemble the ice cream freezer. Add alternating layers of chipped ice and rock salt to barrel around freezer can. Crank freezer until ice cream begins to freeze (cranking will become harder as ice cream freezes), adding more ice and salt, as needed. When handle becomes difficult-to-impossible to turn, remove turning mechanism, and carefully remove top from freezer can; remove dasher. Replace top. Cover can with more ice and salt. Cover ice with an old towel, allowing ice cream to "cure" for at least 1 hour. If yours is an electric freezer, follow manufacturer's directions, but the curing step is essential.
Makes about 5 quarts of ice cream.

I can't eat much ice cream....what with the brain freeze and the lactose intolerance...well,,,, you get the picture!

The best ice cream is ALWAYS home-made!
All that and a recipe, too. A perfect entry.

Who can resist ice cream especially if it's homemade! The cute little grandson looks like he is enjoying his.

Another post today about" ice cream": American people do enjoy these sweets !
How to speak about this subject , and being politically correct ????
miss Yves
Yippee for Ice Cream! You are making me crave a double scoop right now!
Love it all. It's interesting to see the different brands in your part of the country. Blue Bunny and Edy's and the "Fried ice cream"! Don't have any of those on the west coast, but they sound good!

Cool!
Yummy choice! I love some good old fashioned homemade ice cream - my grandmother used to make it in the big churn. Great stuff. But almost any ice cream is good ice cream. :)
I like the political correct list you have there.
I see someone who likes icecream, he would be out of luck with my ABC post this week.
OH, I love ice cream and eat it almost every day. Just a little though - may favorite is chocolate chip. :-)
Wow! I want that icecream. What handsome young grandson you have!Hug to him!Nice posts.
Ice cream is a grand-child pleasure, isn't it ?
I see it's 73° today where you live. That's ice cream weather. ;-)
Thank you! A friend of mine makes ice cream every year and throws a huge party. I've always wondered about the recipe.
Ice Cream - of course! Great choice. The Ice Cream is almoust as big as the boy :-D
Wow, Ice Cream, what a great I post. I love ice cream and never thought of it for I. Guess it's because I'm always watching the pounds.
Nice post!
Yummi!
I love ice cream<3
Great post!
I thought of doing ice cream but didn't as I thought they'd be lots and yours is the only one I've seen!
Fried ice cream?
Great ice cream post - if it wasn't so cold here now I could go for some!
All the ice creams look good but you cannot beat good old fashioned homemade vanilla ice cream.
Yes, I saw fried ice cream, too. Like Liz, I'm bursting with curiosity!
I love ice cream and homemade is the best!!
I remember those days when ice cream was 25 cents at the ice cream parlor, but I guess I'm dating myself. :) I've never made homemade ice cream, but it looks like fun and you can make almost any flavor?
You certainly have some nice flavours to choose from.
Oh you've made me long for summer to come round - great idea for I!
