Homemade Icecream

This is the only ice cream I had as a child... it is yummy as.

Ingredients

• 2 cans Carnation (evaporated) milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 teaspoons gelatin*

(*dissolved in 1/4 cup of very warm water and allow this to stand until the mixture becomes clear)

Directions

1. Beat salt, vanilla and milk at medium to fast speed until ingredients triple in amount.
2. Gradually, while still beating the  mixture add the sugar followed by the gelatine.
3. Place ice-cream mixture in a container and freeze this for several hours - remembering to stir the mixture occasionally during the freezing process.

NB. If you look around second hand shops and or garage sales you will find metal trays which in the days when fridges first happened these doubled as ice trays and ice cream trays by lifting out the metal insert.  These usually came with the refrigerator.

Very collectable if you come across these.  Any freezer proof container will do the job.  In my day we did not have plastic so it was metal or nothing.
