Thoughts On Peppermint Ice Cream:
Homemade ice cream is fun to make and the kids can get involved in the making process. When my daughters were growing up I would get out the old hand crank ice cream maker and have them crank the ice cream. They would take turns. They seemed to enjoy it and today they talk about making ice cream when they were little. This recipe does not have sugar in it but if you find it is not sweet enough for you then you can add a little sugar.

| Our new ice cream maker! |
This ice cream maker has replaced the old hand-crank maker, which is nice to use. I ordered it from Amazon and got a pretty good deal on it. It is easier than turning the ice cream with my arm. It is convenient to purchase ice cream from the store but when making homemade ice cream you can experiment with different recipes. Chocolate ice cream is always a favorite for me but this peppermint recipe is perfect too. It is starting to get warmer outside and it is lots of fun to operate this ice cream maker for the warm holiday. The fourth of July is coming soon and we always like to make ice cream for dessert.
