Our kids love home made ice cream, and so do I! When I was growing up home made ice cream was a special treat my uncle Mickey made once a year for family reunions, down at great grandma and grandpas farm. I was always so excited when I went around the corner of the old farm house and there was the ice cream maker churning away.
Well we were walking through Menards one day and Patrick saw a ice cream maker on sale so we had to get it. It's such a simple and yummy treat.
6 cups cream
4 1/2 cups half and half
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 tbsp vanilla
Combine all ingredients in Canister.
Do not fill the Canister more than 2/3 full, as the mixture will expand during freezing.
Stir well until sugar has dissolved.
Freeze until Canister is cold to touch.
