Dairy Farmer's Thankful Thursday

I come from a long line of homemade ice cream eaters.

When I was small child, it was my delight to fight with the 

visiting cousin on who would sit on the ice cream freezer 

while our Papa (our Grandpa)  turned the crank.

The next best memory was helping to clean the paddle 

that was full of creamy ice cream.

Our electric ice cream freezer has changed the work 

that goes into making the ice cream, but our 

 memory making continues with the next generation.

As you can see, this was serious business for my Mother

and my granddaughter Hattie!

                                                   
                                          I'm thankful for the holidays that bring us together
                                              as a family and  these special milk memories
                                                         made down on the dairy farm!

Peaches and Cream

 We made vanilla ice cream for our 4th of July celebration and topped it with fresh blueberries and strawberries   so I'm now on the look out for some ripe peaches that will be perfect for peach ice cream. Although I don't remember who gave me this peach ice cream  recipe that I found in my recipe collection box , I'm certain  it will be good!

Peach Ice Cream

1 quart very ripe peaches,crushed
Juice of 3 lemons
1 can evaporated milk
3 cups sugar

whole milk ( add to fill 1 gallon ice cream freezer)

Mix peaches,lemon juice, evaporated milk, sugar and salt in large bowl; pour into ice cream freezer can.  Add whole milk to fill line of freezer can and freeze according to ice cream freezer directions.

                     
                        There's never a bad time for summer  picnics, puppy dogs or homemade ice cream!
