This year we struggled through the process of home made ice cream as I stated earlier. When it seemed to be done we tried something I have heard about but never tried. We covered the mixer with ice and salt, wrapped it in towels and let it sit. This is supposed to give the ice cream a chance to harden a little. I had my doubts, but it was worth a try.
Gone are the good old days with masses of youngsters screaming, “Ice cream, ice cream, we all scream for ice cream.” Now we are older, more sedentary and patient. Besides that we made it before dinner so we had to wait.
The results? It works. It wasn’t rock hard. It was just right.
Give it a try. Or maybe you already knew about this and didn't tell me.

I've heard of that, but we rarely did it!
ReplyDeleteI guess the physics of ice changing the temperature of melting continues to work. I guess the cranking is to keep it from being separate and crystal, not to speed the freezing. God has so many mysteries to uncover. Grace and peace
