Since this uses raw eggs I used an egg substitute just to be on the safe side. I also slightly heated the cream and milk together and let just ever so gently simmer on the stove with a scraped vanilla bean in it for about 30 minutes. I strained the milk mixture and let it cool before proceeding. Added a lovely extra vanilla flavor to it. Note: you can do that with a cinnamon stick too and it works great in this recipe.

We purchased an electric ice cream maker a month or so age. After searching many websites for the best ice cream recipe, I settled on this one. It is so easy to make and adding extra flavors is no problem. I have been told repeatedly that this is the best ice cream, store bought or home made that "they've ever had". I use home raised eggs, so no worries about raw eggs in the recipe. If you are looking for the best, easiest, most adaptable ice cream recipe - look no further!

I use authentic Mexican vanilla and 2 teaspoons of vanilla was way too much. The ice cream had an over whelming vanilla flavor to the extent of not being very good. I would try 1 teaspoon of vanilla or even less.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
