Made our first batch of homemade ice cream for the season TODAY!  An early Mother’s Day gift from Mike & the boys.  🙂

We use a White Mountain hand-crank ice cream maker (it used to be Mike’s Grandma’s) – and each boy took turns churning…

Here’s our vanilla ice cream recipe.

Whisk together:

6c cream

6c milk

3T vanilla

2-1/4c evaporated cane juice

3 pinches of sea salt

MY FAVORITE FLAVOR is Coffee, so after the first batch of vanilla, they made another batch & whisked in 1/4c instant coffee granules to the above recipe.  YUM! 🙂

And what do 3 ornery boys look like when there’s a crazy woman “blogging” them as they work???

I LOVE MY BOYS, LOL! 🙂
