Our large ice cream freezer died a few years ago, and we finally replaced it this year. We have a small compressor ice cream maker that is wonderful for a small group, but not for a crowd. So, when we had the youth group meet at our house recently, we bought new churns. Those new churns have been way too convenient, and we have made more homemade ice cream this year than we needed. However, the list of reasons to make homemade ice cream cannot be ignored.
1. It’s sweltering hot outside! What better way to cool off than ice cream?
2. It’s better homemade! Homemade ice cream is so much better than anything you can buy! It brings back memories from my childhood, and every child should know how homemade ice cream tastes!
3. It’s a great way to use all of those fresh peaches, strawberries, and blueberries that you have in abundance during the summer!
4. It’s a great way to bring people together! Homemade ice cream makes everyone happy! It’s an excellent tool for bringing a large group together to merely slow down, sit and talk and enjoy the company of others.
Our preacher’s wife, Jeana, recently shared this recipe with me and it has become my “go-to” recipe. It is simple and so, so good, and it is an excellent base for adding fresh fruit!
