Long, long years ago, I had some sort of a neat little Salton ice cream maker, back when the kids were little. It was pretty simple to use, and you just mixed up the cream, sugar, and flavoring in it, put it in the freezer, and plugged it in. It had a specially coated electric cord that was designed to go in the freezer section of the fridge, and then it had a little stirrer inside, and it just sat in there and stirred until the ice cream was ready to eat. We used to love making ice cream in it, but I haven't had an ice cream maker since that one. I think I might have to watch at the yard sales this summer, or maybe look on ebay, and see if I can find another one. That just sounds so delicious.
 

I found my White Mountain Electric on Craig's list. My cousin had a hand crank model of the same machine when I was a youngster. This one is probably forty years old or older and parts for the new ones still fit.

I've seen others that are much cheaper but they only make a tiny amount of ice cream at a time. Mine makes a gallon. They have a bigger model that makes a gallon and a half.

Hand cranking is the only way to go. Makes the reward oh so much more enjoyable...

My enjoyment comes after it's done. I like electricity.

Made two more gallons today. That makes a total of six gallons made but there are only five in the freezer. I don't know what happened to the other one. My wife keeps complaining about gaining weight. I'm beginning to get suspicious.:distrust:

It's probably just the metabolism slowing down, or might be a thyroid problem. :eek: I'd be right next to her, helping out, lol! I have enough trouble limiting myself with a half-gallon of Breyer's or a pint of Haagen Dazs. If I had really yummy and fresh homemade ice-cream by the gallons around....well,...:sumo:
 
I can't have two gallons of ice cream in the freezer. I'd eat it all. So, I only make it for my family and company.

I finally downsized to one of those table top Cuisinart Ice cream makers. I love that thing. It makes just over a quart.
I started making more "healthy" frozen desserts...like yogurt with strawberries and banana. Banana, peaches and mango is pretty good too.

Still gotta make my ice cream once in a while. Coffee almond mocha is my favorite. Hubby likes butter pecan. Truth is that I've never tried an ice cream flavor I didn't like.
 
Got strawberries from the garden and made a gallon of strawberry ice cream and another gallon with heath bits. Grand kids will be here next week. I hope they don't eat too much.
 
That sounds sooooo good! I'm putting an ice cream maker on my list of things I'd like to buy - not saying I'll get to that, but hey, if its on the list it has a chance.
