(Makes one gallon.)
4 beaten eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 quart whipping cream
1 quart whipping cream
about 5 cups milk (varies with each variety)
Flavoring, fruit choice from variation list below
2 - 7 lb. bags of ice
Uncooked Method: Whisk eggs in canister until lemon colored. Add sugar, salt, and cream. Whisk. Add variation ingredients (see below). Add milk to fill line. Stir. Freeze as directed.
Cooked Method: Combine sugar, salt & cream in saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Gradually stir 1 cup hot mix into beaten eggs. Add eggs to remaining hot mix, stirring constantly. Cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Put in canister. Stir in other desired ingredients. Add milk to fill line. Stir. Cover. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. Freeze as directed.
To Freeze: Assemble freezer and start. Fill maker 1/3 with ice. Add 1 cup rock salt. Repeat to fill. (May have to add ice and salt before it stops.) When it stops, leave can in ice, remove dasher, cover with plastic wrap and lid. Drain some water off. Pile as much ice on top as you can. Put 1 cup salt over top. Cover with a plastic bag and folded beach towel. Sit maker in a large plastic container to catch further melt. Wrap whole maker with a wool or levi blanket. Best if made at least 4 hours ahead and allowed to harden. I have had it wait 6 hours and it has been great. Enjoy!!!
