My husband grew up on homemade icecream. His mom must have been a happy homemaker. I grew up on the grocery store variety, but I forgive my mother seeing as she saw to it that there were homemade flour tortillas on a regular basis in our home. It's an even trade in my book. But, in typical American Dream fashion I want my children to have it all. So, I bought an icecream maker and pulled out this recipe by Sylvia Glover for homemade strawberry icecream from the Real Men Burn Meat Cookbook.
2 pkgs. of frozen strawberries
2 cans of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk
Strawberry Soda (enough to fill your ice cream container)
Mix the first two things and put them in the ice cream freezer. Add enough soda to fill the container and freeze per your machine's instructions.
I halved the recipe and it was plenty.
What more could they want in life?
Check back tomorrow for a fun 'At Home.'
P.S. I will happily accept your icecream recipes so I can show-off my new talent to my kin-folk.
Yummy!!!!! Wow, can't remember the last time we did make ice cream - guess when the boys were still at home. The strawberry looks wonderful. The picture tells it all!! Homemade tortillas are an artform in itself - I'd love some of Martha's tortillas and homemade salsa RIGHT NOW! Please share the ice cream recipes with everyone. Love, Mimi

You can come make this anytime at my house...I'll let you :) Actually, I might need to swipe this recipe for our July 4th family reunion. Everyone is bringing their ice cream makers and making their own ice cream for everyone to taste test. How was the consistency ? I'm thinking I might make something off the wall though...like a matcha ice cream or something....DANG ! Now I need to start making up recipes of ice cream !
