Vanilla Ice Cream

If you grew up in the '70s or early '80s, you might remember working the dash of the ice cream freezer in Grandma's back yard. You might also remember having lots of soft-serve ice cream because nobody had the self-control to wait for the ice cream to harden.

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear!

VANILLA ICE CREAM
1 quart whole milk
5 eggs*
1½ quarts cream
2-3 tablespoons vanilla extract
1⅔ cups sugar
dash of salt

Combine all ingredients in an ice cream freezer and churn until frozen. If you have the fortitude, put it in the fridge to harden. If not, just open it up and chow down! Makes about 3 quarts ice cream.

The recipe card notes: "Can add nuts, marshmallow, chocolate etc!" Yeah, Grandma, but WHY?

*If you're worried about adding raw eggs to the mix, buy pasteurized eggs and use them instead.
