homemade ice cream

We love to make homemade ice cream when it's sunny and hot outside!

We still have the old ice cream maker we got for our wedding 15 years ago...and it works great.  The best thing about it is that it makes 6 quarts of ice cream in one batch!  And in only 40 minutes churning time...easy peasy!

Here's the recipe I used for my 6-quart machine (a variation of one I found on Kelly the Kitchen Kop):

Real Food Strawberry Ice Cream:

4 cups mashed strawberries

Juice from 3 lemons

2 1/4 cups real maple syrup

9 egg yolks from healthy, pasture-fed chickens

3 t. vanilla

3 T. arrowroot powder

3 cups raw whole milk

7 1/2 cups heavy cream

Mix all ingredients well, and pour into ice cream maker.  Process according to manufacturer instructions.

If you have a smaller machine, just cut the quantities by 1/2 or 1/3 accordingly.

There's nothing as delicious as some good, homemade ice cream!

Enjoy!
