Yesterday was Father's Day! One of the items we bought my husband was an ice cream maker. We had a lot of difficulty finding a wooden one. Everything is made of plastic these days. We did finally find a wooden one. It is electric not hand crank, but the ice cream was just as yummy! One of my fondest memories of my grandfather was him making homemade ice cream. (I still have his old machine, but it is not usuable any more) Grandpa would add peaches or strawberries from the garden. My brother and I would take turns cranking the handle of that old ice cream maker. Grandpa would use fresh ingredients. We took a short cut and bought some ice cream mix. We used vanilla and then added a little bit of our own vanilla and fresh strawberries. It tasted just like Grandpa's used to taste. The really great thing is that this ice cream was ready in 30 - 40 min. We started the machine right before we sat down to eat and by the time we were done eating, the ice cream was close to being done.
I wish I could say these strawberries are from my garden, but that would be a lie. Next year I will plant strawberries, but for this year, we used store bought.
Delicious homemade strawberry ice cream!
