One of my favorite memories is the making of ice cream in a hand cranked churn.  Now, I think, this hand cranking would drive me completely insane today.  I, like the rest of you, want everything fast, quick, coming at me with the speed of light.

But, back then....... back then when you were young and summer days were filled with new and wonderful things.  Those glorious hot summer days during the sixties........ wow, to be a kid again..... is all I can say.

Hand cranked icecream was sort of like........like the first time of everything combined 

It's the Fourth of July and you've been waiting all day for the night 

Our nights, out here in the small towns, were filled with starlight, not city lights.  Dark was dark in a small town.

  You've waited all day, till you're ready to explode.  Boom!  The anticipation builds till you tinkle, waiting........
.......... remembering.......
recalling last years bursting lights filling the sky with colored starlight.

The ooos, the ahhhs.........

That's how homemade hand cranked ice cream would make the summer's eve feel.  Like waiting all day for the night.  The fireworks in the dark sky.

Nothing was better.  Nothing...........
Looks like my dad and me were waiting for mom to fix dinner in this photo.

We could have been watching the TV...Flipo the Clown was my favorite then.

Sometime in the mid 50's.

"Ice Cream for the Automatic Refrigerator


America's favorite - Ice Cream - is so easy to make with Borden's Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk.  And furthermore it's so velvety-smooth and creamy rich that your family will clamour for it again and again!  Make some today and give your family a real treat.

Hints for making Ice Cream in your Automatic Refrigerator
1. Be sure to use Borden's Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk.
2. Follow Magic Ice Cream Recipes carefully.
3. Remember all measurements are level.
4. Consult booklets issued by manufacturer of your automatic refrigerator to determine instructions for freezing ice cream.
5 Set temperature regulator at coldest point.
6. Chill mixture well before freezing.
7. Do no freeze trays of water while freezing desserts.
8. Do not place warm foods in the refrigerator, nor open and close doors often while freezing desserts.  If you do, you lengthen the freezing time.
9. Chill bowl and better thoroughly before whipping cream.
10. Whip heavy cream to a foamy, fluffy thickness - not until stiff.  Cream is of a thick, custard-like consistency when whipped enough.
11. Freeze mixture to a mush, that is, until it is half frozen.  Then scrape from sides and bottom of freezing tray and beat until smooth but not melted.  Smooth out in tray and replace in freezing unit until frozen.
12. Turn temperature regulator back to normal when ice cream is frozen.  (Unless it is to stand for several hours before serving, in which case the regulator should be set half-way between coldest point and normal position.)"

This was the ice cream that I would wait days for! 
This recipe was found in the recipe Journal, dated 12-01-1965 from Mary Beyer. I do not know why she added the 69 cents or 35 cents to the recipe, except this might have been the cost of these ingredients at that time.

1 pint
Started
(69 cents)
2 large bottles medium cherries, drained

1 cups sugar. Let work 8 days.

(35 cents)
1 large can cling peaches, cut, drained
1 cup sugar. Let work 4 or 5 days.

Do not put in ice box until after the peaches have been added and worked their time.
Do not cover tight and never seal!
Use a plastic container with a lid, but do not close tight. 

Stir ever day.
"LICK THE SPOON"
First save yourself, 1 pint of the "starter".
It will keep in the ice box as long as you want it.
Serve on ice cream, angel food cake with whipped cream.  (It is advisable to never promise a pint of the first from your first batch, as you won't have much left.)

Homemade Ice Cream

1 quart milk
1 cup sugar
1 egg
dash salt
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla or 1 tablespoon imitation vanilla

Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in heavy saucepan.  Add 1/2 cup milk to form a paste.   Stir in beaten egg.  Add remaining milk, and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until a rolling boil.  Let boil about a minutes, and this will be a thin custard.  Pour in freezing tray and let set until cool.  Place in freezing compartment of refrigerator and freeze until firm, then remove from tray with a fork, and beat with electric mixer at high speed until fluffy.  Return to tray and refreeze.

Any variation may be had by adding fruits, etc.  Before second freezing, except chocolate - which is obtained by making chocolate custard.

Circa 1950 something. Mrs. R.W. Dillard wrote, My family prefers the plain vanilla with toppings on each serving of strawberries, peaches, blackberries, or sundae syrups.  This is my own recipe entirely.  One which was evaluated by trial and error.
