Grandpa’s Ice Cream

One of the fun memories I have as a kid is the family gatherings at my grandma and grandpa’s house… and every summer grandpa would get out the hand-cranked, wooden bucket, ice-cream maker.

Well, recently I was going through grandma’s recipe box, and I found this… “John’s Ice Cream”, grandpa’s recipe for that great ice cream he would make for us.

We’d all take a shot at turning that crank, helping out as he would have to add ice or salt, but he did the bulk of the cranking. And as soon as it had thickened up we’d be dishing that up and diving right in.

I don’t have an ice cream maker, if you do… you’ll have to check any specific directions for how to make this, but here’s the ingredients, in my grandma’s own writing.
