"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)

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.

 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

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!

"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!!
