HOW TO PREPARE ICE CREAM
Prepare the mixture for freezing early in the morning, while working
in the kitchen, and then when it is cool place in the ice box to be
thoroughly chilled until needed. Scald and cool the can and then place
in the refrigerator. When ready to prepare the cream for freezing,
place the ice in a bag and with a wooden mallet pound it fine. Now
pour the prepared mixture into the cold can and place the dasher in
position. Place the can in the freezer and adjust the turning crank,
and give a few turns of the handle to see that everything is working
easily. Now use a pint bowl for measuring and pour in three measures
of ice, then one of salt. Repeat this until the ice and salt are above
the mixture inside the can. It is necessary to be accurate if you wish
to obtain good results.
Haphazard measuring only means failure. Turn the freezer until it
begins to become difficult to turn, then remove the dasher, using
a wooden spoon to scrape and pack. You must work quickly, as it is
important not to keep the can open any longer than necessary. Place
n cork in the opening in the lid of the can and cover the top of can
with a piece of wax paper, then put on the lid.
Now drain off all the water. Repack, using four parts of ice to one
part salt. Cover closely and set aside for one and one-half hours to
ripen.
If all preparations are made earlier in the day, it will take about
one-half hour to put together the mixture and make the cream.
