peppermint ice cream or vanilla

no eggs in this ice cream recipe therefore it is more like an Italian gelato

2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream
or half and half
pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla (for vanilla gelato)
or
2 tsp peppermint flavoring

handful of crushed peppermint sticks or candies

i try to buy enought of these candies at Christmas time
bc i like peppermint ice cream in the summer

peppermint candies are hard to find in Moab unless it is
Christmas

Moab is not a shoppers' paradize

oh / here is how to make it :

put the sugar in the milk and warm it up so the sugar dissolves
add the cream and the flavorings

cool it down and put in the freezer / when it has thickened up some
stir in the crushed candies

or chill it and pour into an ice cream maker / add the candies after
the ice cream has begun to freeze

otherwise the candies will sink to the bottom of the bowl

wdnt want that !

my favorite ice cream when i was growing up was Gifford's Peppermint

it was PINK and i loved it in a sundae with HOT FUDGE SAUCE and whipped cream

my boyfriends parents took us to Gifford's after our 9th grade "prom" (this was in the '40's) and after that i threw up all over their new car / it was a Kaiser

memory bank overflows
