Home Made Ice Cream

The basics with an ice cream maker:

* when putting your salt and ice around the canister, layer them
* when the machine stops churning (it's done) take out the paddle turny thing (technical term = dasher) being very careful not to get any salt into the ice cream, replace the lid, and cover the lid with ice (no salt) and a towel. this helps the top of the ice cream to freeze a bit more.
* time to churn is usually about 20 - 30 minutes
* home made ice cream does not set up hard unless you put it in the freezer.

Food Sorage Ice Cream - Lousie Day

1 1/2 qt bottled apricot juice
1 gal of frozen peaches
2 tsp lemon juice
1 pt whipping cream
1/2 - 3/4 qt half and half
3 c sugar

Blend the frozen peaches with the apricot juice until you get the texture you want. Place all ingredients in the ice cream maker and churn. When the machine stop turning take the dasher out, replace the lid, and cover with ice and a towel to help the top freeze harder.
