Too Hot to Argue.

[JohnnyD]

The methodology of ice cream churning has been the cause of many debates at my gatherings. The older folks talk about the superiority of the hand operated churn. Other reminisce about the plug in version with ice and rock salt providing the chill. Us younger ones have attachments for other machinery that get us the finished product.

Having used every single one of these variations thanks to having grandparents who made it in to their late 90s as well as experimenting with every new version that came along, I've decided I'll take good, homemade ice cream however I can get it. Convenience is a bonus.

I do prefer the custard version as this one is. Sweet milk and cream, good sugar, egg yolks, real vanilla beans. A little wild blackberry liqueur to top it off. Makes the weather a little less rage inducing.

Sounds familiar. Mama would get it ready and it was the kids job it crank it. My brothers mostly cranked and me and sister would sit on it.

I prefer the electric churn. I can get it started and go watch tv or whatever. When it stops it's done.

Also, I will probably get flamed, but I also "cheat" by using a product called Junket. Yesterday I used the Vanilla and blended some fresh peaches and added it to the mixture. Turned out very good.

I was "gifted" one of those years ago, thanks for reminding me I need to dig it out and see if I can make it work.
