To keep with the Summer treat of homemade ice cream, this recipe out of the Junior League "Seasons" is super yummy. I have made it twice this year with none of the options, just plain vanilla and everyone has licked the bowl clean. I just finished a book called "Why French Women are Skinny" and she talks all about eating the foods that are in season, therefore I have enjoyed my Seasons cook book because the recipes are arranged under seasons. I will keep you posted on others that are good as well-Now there is a plug for the Junior League of SLC!

Old Fashioned Ice Cream
Always in Season, Junior League SLC

1 cup sugar
2 (14 oz.) cans sweetened condensed milk
2 pints whipping cream
2 T. vanilla extract
½ gal. whole milk

Options:
1 pint fresh strawberries
1 pint fresh raspberries
1 pint fresh peaches, sliced
Sugar to taste


Pour all the ingredients except the whole milk into the ice cream freezer. Add milk to the fill line. Put container into the machine and start without adding the ice. Let it run for a couple of minutes and it will mix the ingredients well. Then add the ice and salt according to the manufacturer’s directions.

To add options, process the fruit with sugar to taste in a blender. Add to the mixture above.
