One of the fun memories I have as a kid is the family gatherings at my grandma and grandpa’s house… and every summer grandpa would get out the hand-cranked, wooden bucket, ice-cream maker.
Well, recently I was going through grandma’s recipe box, and I found this… “John’s Ice Cream”, grandpa’s recipe for that great ice cream he would make for us.
We’d all take a shot at turning that crank, helping out as he would have to add ice or salt, but he did the bulk of the cranking. And as soon as it had thickened up we’d be dishing that up and diving right in.
I don’t have an ice cream maker, if you do… you’ll have to check any specific directions for how to make this, but here’s the ingredients, in my grandma’s own writing.
btw, this is a repost of an item also on my cooking site… I figured it was worth sharing here as well.

It’s great to have the hand written recipes from your relatives. I have a couple written by relatives who have already passed on. I treasure them.
Glad you have so many good memories of making ice cream with your grandpa. Thanks for sharing.
yea.. I’m scanning grandma’s recipe box of stuff… have some cookbooks that are 40-50+ years old that she’s used over the years too. Have to give them back, but by scanning them I can treasure them in my own way.
Good information in this post, keep up the great work. Cheers.
