6 quart directions:

4 cups whole milk
2 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt(I use Redmonds Real Salt)
4 cups half & half
4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 Tablespoons vanilla


I don't even worry about chilling it or stirring it.....I figure it'll get stirred enough by the ice cream maker. Dump it in, add 8 cups of ice around outside for every 1 cup of rock salt and add ice and salt once more as the ice level comes down. I use a White Mountain ice cream maker and it makes the best homemade ice cream I've ever eaten although it's pricey. If you want to add any flavorings or fruit just stop it and add the extra ingredients 5-10 minutes before it's done. When the motor slows way down or you see the cream oozing out the top of the lid, it's done! BTW, if you ever try hand cranking, you'll probably only do it once, LOL. Can't beat the motor.
