I Scream, You Scream, We all....

You know the rest. Today Brenda Gudex, Director of Agricultural Programs for The Fond du Lac Area Association of Commerce joined me and talked about Ice Cream. Among the items we touched on was a neat recipe for "Ice cream In a Bag". This seems like a fun activity to do with kids over the summer months. Here is the recipe:

1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream

1 tbl sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

Combine in a ziploc sandwich bag and close tightly

In a quart size ziploc bag place crushed ice and 1 tbl salt.

Place CLOSED milk bag inside ice bag.

Shake for 5-10 minutes until ice cream is formed.

Feel free to mix in some other flavors such as chocolate syrup or frozen strawberry's w/ some juice and see what happens.

We also talked about our favorite ice cream in the world...Babcock Hall Ice Cream from UW-Madison. All of the info you need should be found with the above link. You can also find a selection of their ice cream at the Memorial Union which, by the way, is my favorite place in the entire world to spend a nice summer afternoon and evening. Please take some time and spend a Friday or Saturday this summer in Madison you will not be sorry.
