Re: Home made ice cream
We used to make it thirty years ago . My grandparents had a couple ice cream freezers that would make close to five gallons each . His 64 CJ-5 had a power take off in the back so we'd chain the freezer to a tree and hook up a home made PTO shaft with an aluminum shear pin up to the Jeep and freezer . In about five minutes the people n would shear then ten or twelve turns with the crank by hand and it was done . I miss that

Re: Home made ice cream
I like knowing how to pronounce all the ingredients in things. Can't do that with most store-bought stuff. Plus the homemade tastes much better.

Pitchy.....is there anything you can't make?
Man...I l love ice cream but can only eat small amounts. If I pig out I'm up at 3am with severe gas pains.---6
Found 15 bullets, a brass belt buckle, and 4 copper pennies today....nothing of any value.

Just put it in and turn the crank until it goes pop pop pop, just like sex.

Re: Home made ice cream
Pitch, you know that ice cream tastes even better when the canister is turned via belt and pulley by a hit and miss, doncha?

Re: Home made ice cream
We've never owned one of those fancy plug-in models; always used the wooden bucket hand-cranked type where you'd have to soak the bucket before using to keep all the salt water from leaking out. I've seen my youngest boy when he was about 12 sitting on the bucket in a raging snowstorm while cranking the churn--he loved ice cream that much. He's now 52 and still likes it; guess it runs in the family.
Re: Home made ice cream
Thanks guys, yep those old engines are nice, used to have a bunch of them.
Thought about buying a hand crank model but we don`t make ice cream that often but I sure do remember cranking when I was a kid.

Re: Home made ice cream
Pitchy, I'd be tempted to buy an engine model if we made ice cream much anymore. But those hand-crank models can make you feel like you've "earned" another helping. Not that we're doing a very good job of watching the calories these days !!

Re: Home made ice cream
With ageing taste buds it seems all the store-bought ice cream is just too dang sweet. So our main ice cream is home-made vanilla where the boss uses about half the sugar that the store stuff would use. I have a 6-qt. electric and re-freeze the ice/salt mixture in a 2-gallon bucket I keep in the chest freezer -- when you get the salt proportions right you can (with just a little pounding) dig the mixture back out without the old hammer-on-the-block-in-the-gunnysack bit I did when I used to freeze ice in milk cartons. We scoop the ice cream into a bunch 10 oz plastic containers for later use. 36 seconds in the microwave and you have "fresh" home-made ice cream.
If we didn't have grandkids around here regularly we'd never buy ice cream at the store. Home made ice cream is vastly easier now than back when I was a kid and we had to keep the wooden ice cream bucket soaking in the water trough and then consume the whole thing before the ice melted...

Re: Home made ice cream
Best memory of making homemade ice cream when I was a child was getting to sit on the bucket while my Dad turned the handle. If I did a good job of sitting still I was rewarded with getting the paddle full of goodness!

Re: Home made ice cream
Great memories men. Yeah, fold up the gunny sack on top of the freezer to sit on. I have a recipe from my FIL that uses 10 eggs and a can of Eagle Brand.

Re: Home made ice cream
I don't understand "home-made ice cream" as a nostalgia thing, so I was passing along my "plan" as you call it Pitchy. While I'm at it I'll include the wife's recipe which doesn't need eggs or cooking or any of that nuisance stuff. This is for our 6-qt freezer, so cut down if you use a smaller one...
1 qt half/half
1 qt. whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar (boss uses a bit less -- calls it a "scant half cup"
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp. almond extract (if desired)
1 small package Jello instant vanilla pudding mix
Whole milk (it'll take a bit over half a gallon)
Put about quart to quart and a half of the milk in mixing bowl, add pudding, sugar, and the extracts and mix until sugar is all dissolved. Pour into ice cream canister and add in the half/half and creams (we have cut this down to a pint of the whipping cream these days but we like it best with the two...) and then top off with the milk to the "fill" line on the canister. Swish around with the paddle and taste test. I usually have her put in a little extra vanilla at this point (a ritual in our family). If I open the cream cartons for her this mix-up takes the girl about 4 minutes. Get this turning and then put in the ice/salt. Generally takes around 20 minutes to freeze with our freezer.
I'm a chocoholic so I eat half a bowl as vanilla and then pour on some chocolate syrup for the last. Girl adds amaretto or kahlua along with her chocolate. We end up with 10 to 15 of the little containers to freeze for later use depending on whether we had some grandkids around when this was getting mixed up. When we get down to the last of these we just run a new batch. Have to keep consumption to the moderate rate because as many of you have also discovered when you get past 65 you only need about 300 calories a day to "maintain" and everything else goes toward belly fat...

Todd, as to an actual 'recipe', I can't help you. I tend to work with whatever's available at the time (more or less). Made some of the snow-cream just a few weeks ago. Works like this: when there is fresh snow I'll get a large plastic mixing bowl and fill it to heaping with snow; then I'll come in and put a couple cups of the snow into a serving bowl (for me) and add some canned milk and some skim milk(it's what we have on hand usually); stir until it starts to resemble ice-cream; then I add either white sugar or a sugar substitute (like Splenda) until it seems sweet enough; add some vanilla extract and mix thoroughly. If it's too "milky" just add more snow. I've probably never made it exactly the same way very many times--but it usually pleases those in the mood for some instant vanilla ice cream. You can add chocolate syrup over the top if that appeals. It's pretty good!
