Guess you didn't read my request for "tried and true" recipes. What you find online don't always work out like recipes that others have used.

I have one of those KitchenAid Ice cream attachments. You freeze the bowl and then let the mixer stir the ice cream until it sets up. Put the soft ice cream in the freezer to harden. Anyhow, the ice cream base that I use is the same, just the flavorings change. I will tell you that with the purchase of an ice cream maker, you will also gain an extra 15 lbs. free of charge!
Strawberry Ice Cream:
3 cups of half and half
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of partially thawed, frozen pureed strawberries, (or flavoring of choice)
Combine all the ingredients and chill. Place in ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's directions.

Mountain Mama, I have tried many of the recipes from this website. I have not had a bad one yet. Some of the ones that have been very big hits are, Old time vanilla, cherry vanilla, ultimate butter pecan, French vanilla bean, and chocolate flake.

I think the cherry vanilla and the ultimate butter pecan are my favorite. The Old time vanilla is a very good one to accommodate a crowd's different tastes.

These recipes sound amazing. Figure about 30 pounds at no extra charge. You're going to have to get a bigger TV!

I don't know about the recipes for the ice cream, but my grandparents added fresh peaches from their tree. It's a whole different flavor than store bought peach. This was also the crank in ice and salt maker, if that makes a difference.

I have made both of these simple recipes numerous times, &, always, well received.

Had not made this for several years, & decided to make it this morning. Discovered I'd made a mistake in the size of the freezer. BOTH recipes need a gallon & a half ice cream maker.

Hand crank is the best. We invested in one of these, https://www.lehmans.com/p-2815-lehmans-best-ice-cream-freezers.aspx
from Lehman's hardware, several years ago.

They were waaaaaay cheaper,then... hundreds cheaper. Looking at the price now, I would say we have an investment ice cream maker. It is built well enough to pass down to one of our kids. terry r.
