I think this will be my final ice cream post for the summer. I've had a ball with my recipes.

My blog turns one-year-old in a couple of weeks, and I'm planning an ice cream social to celebrate. Wish you all could come!

oh yeah.....any gelato, and any apricot....
I invested in a "new-fangled" icecream maker this year but have been too busy to enjoy it yet. Many of my french cookbooks have really intriguing sounding ice cream recipes - I will report back:)

Oh wow Michele! Anything with apricots!!! And just having those two words paired up: apricots & gelato... Yum!! I'm going to make this buttermilk ice cream mixture with apricots added. Maybe just add some apricot preserves. My mouth is watering!

Mmm, this reminds me, apricot gelato. We made it last summer and it was the best we've ever made. Better than huckleberry ice cream or even espresso ice cream. Have to make some soon! |

If you haven't made this buttermilk ice cream this summer... give it a go! Everyone who makes it is going nuts for it!
Here's a little recipe. But after you try it you'll want to triple it I'm sure!
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
(I'm going to try it with raspberry extract instead of vanilla... calling it raspberry cheesecake. Just haven't done that yet!)

We make homemade ice cream every 4th of July since I was a little girl (I'm 53 yrs old). My husband and I and my parents are still making it. Like my dad says "It only takes 1,000 cranks!" My favorite is plain old vanilla!

Now I've got to get online and learn how Martha Washington made ice cream with the bowls!
Yes.. the ice cream is like vanilla, but incredibly rich... just a bit tart (which is a flavor I love.)
If you love home made ice cream, but like me, don't have a big sweet tooth, this recipe is for you. Everyone loves it, young and old alike!

during my Girl Scout leader days we participated in the Lorain County (ohio) Metroparks Pioneer Days festival two years making homemade ice cream in mid 1800s dresses....the girls loved it- was a lot of work and they learned even about how ice cream was made in Martha washingtons time with two diff sized bowls!!!
thx for the jog down memory lane!

It all sounds yummy! I bought a Donvier ice cream maker which was one that MJ recommended in an early magazine. We love it. It has a liner that you keep in the freezer and when you're ready to make a batch you pull it out, place it in the maker, add ingredients, cover and spin for about 10 minutes. We pass it around because everyone wants to have a hand so each of us turns for maybe two minutes. Then we just open it up and serve. The one I have only makes about 1 1/2 quarts so we eat it all up in one sitting.
Sometimes I've just taken chocolate milk from our local creamery and pour it in. It's not as sweet as traditional ice cream but it is fast, easy, and refreshing on a summer day!

Thanks for reading it. I had told my little nine year old niece the story, then more about her great-great-grandmother just a couple of days ago. I truly get choked up thinking about the lives they lived, and I don't want us to ever forget how hard they worked carving out lives here.
As for peach ice cream... YUM!!
I'm going to make Sour Cream Ice Cream tomorrow night.

I'd love to share a little more with you about Ice Cream Socials and our heritage. I've written a tiny bit about an Ice Cream Social that took place one hundred years ago in the county where I live in New Mexico. Can't say enough about how those pioneers amaze me!

The watermelon sorbet sounds so good... especially with that lime!
I'm determined that this summer I will try the avocado ice cream! Mary Jane put her recipe in the June/July magazine. I've always wanted to try it. Should have done it on Guam when I had two amazing avocado trees!!! Always wanted to make guacamole instead. But this summer... I'm going for it!!
(That recipe is on page 14.)

I just made my first batch TODAY! Okay, so it was sorbet, but...
It is AMAZING. I made the watermelon sorbet recipe by Alton Brown for Food Network. I added about 1/3 of the sugar (or less) and I used fresh squeezed limes to add a little tart kick rather than the lemon juice.
My DH usually makes us some, and it is okay, but not really as good as the store stuff (yuck, right?). So I researched it, and I froze my ice cream chamber first, and then chilled the ice cream (sorbet) mixture overnight before putting it into the machine. I used 1 part of rock salt to 8 parts of ice. So, anyway, when I made it today, it was DONE in 5 minutes. Then, it is recommended to pack it into a container, cover it in waxed paper and allow it to 'ripen' for 3-4 hours. Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before serving. So, that's the way we're gonna try it from now on. Before, we would just eat it straight out of the maker, and it would melt too fast. Plus, when we went to re-freeze it, it was full of ice crystals. Yuck. So, I'm trying these suggestions now.

I just saw an article in Hobby Farm Home on how to make ice cream in plastic bags. (I know...plastic again...guilt) But it will be so much fun to do with my grandkids next time they come over for the weekend. We always try something new. And, they can each make their own.

That's funny Connie, we did the same thing. My brother and I would fight over who's turn it was to sit on the icecream freezer though. We argued our little sister was too small. What was so exciting about sitting there watching daddy churn, I will never know? |

Luanne!!! Talk about the land of milk and honey!!! I'm definitely going to try this recipe (in a smaller quantity). Truly, this sounds heavenly.
Now I've got to get serious about finding some raw honey.
Thank you!!

Here's how we make the honey ice cream. It makes 5 gallons at a time, so you will need to cut the recipe down depending on the size of your freezer!
5 lbs. raw honey
2 gallons plus 1 quart of whole milk
5 cans sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup pure vanilla extract
Mix together the honey, condensed milk and vanilla. Slowly add the milk until well mixed and churn. It takes about 45 minutes in our 5 gallon maker, but might not take that long with a smaller one. I don't know how to make ice cream in small amounts!
Enjoy!

I have very fond memories of sitting on a folded towel over the top of our old wooden crank ice cream maker while my Dad cranked away. I'm not sure if he really needed my weight or if it was just a way to entertain me while the ice cream was made! I was rewarded for my work by being allowed to lick the dasher while the ice cream cured in it's ice bath. Mom fussed about me dripping all over myself and Dad just smiled. Every time.

I made this recipe for the first time yesterday. It was a hit at the ice cream social. =)
