About Me

My photo
I was raised by my father (God rest his soul) in the valley of Nebraska. The background picture is of the Scottsbluff National Monument I took on a trip home... Thank Goodness I had Czech & German Grandmother's and Aunt's who taught me how to cook, sew and overall be the most giving person ever. The lady in this picture is my Aunty. She passed from Alzheimer's a few years ago. and was a huge influence on who I am and how I love. She and My Best Friend inspired this blog... I don't want anything to be forgotten!

Diva's Grandad Dales Homemade Ice Cream

Diva’s Memories of Recipes
Homemade Ice Cream
Inspiration:  On the Zemanek farm in Bayard, NE, milk was plentiful since we had milk cows and chickens.  Sunday's were family days and we always made Homemade ice cream.  There were 6 cousins and we all fought over who turned the handle and who got to poke the stick in the ice during the process.  We also knew when Grandad pulled the beater out of the ice cream, we all got a lick.
Ingredients:
2 cups milk
1~1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
5 eggs, beaten well


1 TB vanilla
approx 2 Quarts milk


rock salt
ice
Instructions:
Scald milk, sugar, and salt. Continue to beat eggs in large bowl and slowly add hot milk mixture.  Cool. Pour into 5 quart ice cream maker.  Add vanilla and enough milk to reach the "fill line".
Freeze according to your manufacturer's directions.

Variation: can make any flavor you wish.
