How much water ice exercise I demand?

If using a 4 quart (1 gallon) freezer you will need 20 pounds of ice.

You can buy crushed ice or a handbag of water ice cubes.

If using ice cubes, they should exist put into a bag and crushed. You can utilize a hammer or a mallet. The finer the ice, the smoother the water ice cream!

My dad always used the back end of an axe, simply sometimes we used a hammer. Mayhap the hammer was for my benefit because I was besides niggling to lift the axe!

First, he put the bag of ice within an old gunny sack and then the ice doesn't end upwardly all over the place. Then, he crushed the heck out of it with the axe! This way, the ice is easier to fit into the ice cream freezer, and it volition melt faster.

Pictured below is the manus-cranked auto my parents bought sometime in the 1960s in San Jose, California. My mom has a whole story about why they went to San Jose that day! But the bespeak is that this ice cream maker has been in the family for 50 plus years! And who knows how long that gunny sack has been around!

If using a 4 quart (one gallon) freezer you will demand 2½ cups of rock table salt for freezing and some other 2½ cups for ripening the ice cream.

1½ cups table common salt may exist substituted for freezing and 1½ cups for ripening.

Pace i: Add the water ice foam filling

Place the dasher into the canister then pour the water ice cream filling into can until it is about ¾ full. Place the can in the freezer. Position the hand crank properly on the tin can making sure that the dasher engages. Rotate the lid until the dasher snaps into identify.

Footstep two: Add the water ice, water, and table salt

Put well-nigh 2 inches of crushed ice in lesser of the freezer tub. Pour about 2 cups of water over the ice then sprinkle approximately ¼ cup of salt over the water ice. Continue alternating ice, salt, and water until the tub is full.

The water ice will settle and then more salt and water ice may be added. Check the drain hole on your ice foam freezer. The brine should be draining off at this point but not beyond the top of the canister. Practice not let it seep into ice foam can.

My dad says he doesn't really have an exact measurement for the water. He just keeps calculation salt, ice, and more water until it starts draining out of the drain tube.

The melting of the water ice is what makes the ice cream freeze, then cull a location similar a patio or driveway that can handle the h2o.

Footstep 3: Start cranking

When turning the creepo becomes increasingly harder, it indicates that the ice cream is freezing. The ice cream should be the consistency of whipped cream at this point.

To harden or ripen the water ice cream, drain the alkali, remove the tin can lid, but do not contaminate the ice foam with salt.

Stride 4: When it'due south gear up to eat

If you desire soft-serve ice cream, you can remove the dasher at this point and enjoy some delicious, bootleg water ice foam!

If you adopt your ice cream harder, or if you are not gear up to eat it yet, y'all can remove the dasher and supervene upon the lid. Put a cork in the dasher hole on the lid if your motorcar did not come with a plug. Add more water ice to the tub then cover it with a blanket or heavy towel until the ice foam hardens to your liking.

This recipe is similar to the 1 my grandmother fabricated but my mom doesn't have
the recipe.

A favorite amidst my mom and her siblings was caramel ice foam. Grandma
omitted the vanilla and used caramelized sugar in place of regular
sugar.

This recipe is for a half-gallon ice foam freezer and serves about twelve people (1/2 cup servings).  Simply double the ingredients for a i gallon ice foam maker.
