Homemade Maple Ice Cream

I've been asked for this recipe several times and I'm just going to post it on my blog so anybody can try my mothers homemade ice cream treat (always a treat on Fourth of July growing up).


Mother's Maple Ice Cream

In a 4 quart ice cream maker: If you don't have one just use a big soup pot, filled with 3/4 of water and a big stainless steel bowl on top of the pot and you have a double broiler.

In top of double boiler---

6 eggs
1 Cup of Maple syrup
1/4 Cup corn starch dissolved in 1 Cup of milk
1 Quart of half and half
Add milk @ 1-2 Cups


*Cook the first five ingredient's on top of a double boiler on high till it coats the spoon. Stir constantly!

Now Add:
3Tablespoon of vanilla
1 Pint raw cream
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice

* Stir in well and remove from heat. Let it stand and cool down for awhile, then you can pour it in your ice cream mixer or put in refrigerator to use the next day.

This ice cream tastes very much like maple caramel. Your never want any other ice cream again.
