"Delectable" Homemade Hand Cranked Icecream


 A summer treat to share with friends , family
and especially GRANDCHILDREN...is..


..... homemade,  from scratch ...
hand cranked ice cream!!

It is great fun and delectable!! 


 If you have an opportunity to acquire 
an old ice cream churn and it has all the parts
you will have some good fun to share
 and tastily enjoy!!


We lost one of the important parts in the grass to
our first churn (still looking) so we picked up 
another smaller churn! If you are going to purchase an older
model  here are some things to make sure to look for;

(But if you prefer a new one I 
recommend White Mountain)

White Mountain 4-qt. Hand-Crank Ice Cream Maker
http://www.whitemountainproducts.com/

the dasher often is made up of two parts
for easier cleaning






There are also several freezer sizes to consider

An important part is the locking part to the crank
that fits over the lid to turn it
(the part we lost)


The tin freezer canister should be 
tested for leakage and free of  corrosion.
And the wood "scrapers" should be in
a nice smooth condition for it to work properly as it 
scrapes the wall of the canister as the cream mixture freezes

(Bottom of canister)

....and it also should
spin smoothly on a " nut  " located 
in the bottom of the freezer bucket.


There should also be a latch on one side of the bucket
to hold the churn cranking mechanism steady into place.

Beloved, I wish above all things

and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth.

 Old Fashioned  Vanilla Ice Cream
 (Tasha Tudor cookbook style)

3 cups of milk
1- 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
3 eggs ~slightly beaten
3 cups heavy cream
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
~~~
Scald the freezer can and inner parts
~~~
In a saucepan,  scald milk, and
in a double boiler, over (hot water)

Mix the cornstarch,  salt and sugar.
Slowly add to the scalded milk.
Cook and stir for 8 minutes. Add
the beaten eggs and cook for 2 more
minutes. Chill

Add  and blend the chilled cream and  vanilla
 and  then pour the mixture into the freezer can.
Next pack the freezer  with cracked ice
and alternate layers of rock salt in the bucket
Let everyone take turns at cranking the handle,
 remembering to crank slowly for the first 5 minutes!
~~~
Remove the dasher when the freezing is complete
and pack the freezer with more ice and salt and 
wrap  the freezer bucket with blankets  (or newspaper)
and set in the shade for several hours until you are 
ready to serve!
~~~
DELECTABLE!!

"Scald" with boiling water (to prevent germs)


double boiler ...
 Scald whole milk, and then slowly add a 
ladle full of  scalded milk 
to the egg mixture before adding it to 
the milk over the heat, to prevent "scrambling"



 Cool in a bowl of ice if  you want to use it soon


 Employ "Grandiechildren" as often as possible!!


(Employ grown-ups,
they love to make     
homemade icecream too)!!



              















Some of the best fun is to get to lick the dasher clean!








And served with farm fresh organic fruit is 
as good as it gets!!

  1. Hi Linnie, my grandmother (Mamaw) in Mississippi would make ice cream when we were there as children in the 1950's. Once when we visited in the 1970's my Dad was there and he got out the ice cream maker and we made it again. It is indeed one of those rituals of summer that can bring back wonderful memories.

  2. We frequently make hand-cranked homemade ice cream - - ain't nothing like it!
    During our reenactments crowds gather around and sometimes we'll let them turn the handle.
    I must say, I have to chuckle at those who have an electric ice cream maker...it's almost an oxymoron to me.
    Anyhow, thanks for this post - - - excellent!

  3. Linnie, what a great tutorial for making ice cream! I must admit to having an electric ice cream maker-the kind you keep the canister in the freezer and after making the mixture you plug it in. Years ago we had an old fashioned one. Our children still talk about it! Thanks for reminding me we must do that soon with the grands. Your guys look like they were really enjoying themselves! What wonderful memories you are creating for them. xoxo ♥

  11. Dear Linnie,

    Mmm, mmm, homemade ice cream that doesn't have any scary ingredients in it! :) I miss the ice cream churn we had when growing up; somehow it didn't make it in the many moves my family has made through the years!

    The Mousiekins are always right there with you. You must inspire them, too!

    Love,

    Marqueta

  13. A step back in time... delicious homemade ice cream...could have been in the back yard where I grew up in the 50s. With several children in the family, we had to take turns licking the dasher...yum, yum!

  16. I have happy memories of making homemade ice cream as a child. Us kids took turns setting on top as some grown up would turn the crank, it did make for a cold seat though :) Another lovely post my friend. Very magazine worthy post.....blessings ♡
