Homemade ice cream is a huge Bickmore (and now Parson) family tradition. I always hear stories of the homemade ice cream at Grandma's, especially on Memorial Day when everyone would bring their ice cream maker and make a different kind of ice cream. Chris loves making ice cream any excuse he can get (actually he doesn't even need an excuse!), so it was a no-brainer that he needed to make Grandma's berry ice cream for Memorial Day this year!I think raspberries must have been Grandma's favourite berry because another favourite family recipe is a Raspberry Cream pie, which I think was from Grandma as well!
Grandma's Raspberry Ice Cream
2 bags frozen raspberries OR substitue any kind of berries you like
2 cups sugar
3 Quarts 1/2 & 1/2 (or 6 cups cream and 6 cups milk)
Mash berries thoroughly in a bowl. Add sugar and mix to dissolve.
Put in 4 quart ice cream maker and fill to the fill line with 1/2 & 1/2.
Cover with rock salt, ice and turn on!
*Note: Chris just eye balls the berries as we buy a big bag of them from Costco, but I googled it and found that a 12 oz bag of frozen raspberries is equal to approximately 3 cups frozen berries. Hope that helps!
Enjoy!
