Fresh Fruit Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients:

4 c. milk

4 eggs, beaten

2 c. sugar

1/2 t. salt

2 c. heavy cream

2 T. vanilla

Sliced Peaches or Strawberries

How to make Fresh Fruit Ice Cream:

Prepare sliced peaches or strawberries and sprinkle with sugar and allow to set until the make

juice. Use enough fruit to make about 1 qt. of fruit puree. Put fruit and juice into blender and

coarsely puree. You should have about 1 blender full or about 1 qt.

Add fruit puree to the custard mixture which has been cooled or chilled overnight in the refrigerator. (I always make the custard the day before and put in refrigerator.

I prepare the fruit and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator as well.) This recipe assumes you have a 1 gallon freezer.

The freezer can should never be filled more that 3/4 full because the ice cream expands as it freezes and it will overflow if the can is too full.

You can also make raspberry ice cream but don't use as many raspberries (probably 2 cups of puree is enough) as they have a much more intense flavor.

Actually you can add just about any fruit you would like to try but these are all the ones I have tried.

How to make Grapefruit Ice Cream:

Its very Simple. Just mix ingredients just before putting in machine. Very nice texture. Strong grapefruit flavor. Surprisingly good. Even those who grimaced on being told the flavor of the day had seconds.
