Snow Ice Cream
My house here in Indiana. That is a lot of ice cream!
Many years ago (How often have you seen that phrase in my blogs?) we didn't have much snow in Texas but occasionally we did get a little snow. One of my favorite things about getting snow was making snow ice cream.
Now is good ice cream weather (not snow ice cream!) since it has been in the high nineties for some time here. When the snow comes it will be so cold that we won't be that wild for ice cream.
Now I would never eat snow but back then it seemed things were not as polluted as they are now. We would take a pan and a big spoon and scoop off the top, clean layer of snow from a place where it was free from tree limbs and bushes. Then my Mother would make it like the recipe above shows. It was delicious! Probably I would not think it as delicious as I did then. But we never got ice cream as often as we can now. I have ice cream any time I want it now but then it was just an occasional treat. So the snow ice cream was something special.
By the way, we made sure the snow we got was pure white and not yellow!

We loved snow ice cream! I remember when I was in about the second grade, we had a big snow, and I wanted snow ice cream. But we couldn't have any because there was some kind of scare about the snow being contaminated with radioactive fallout. If that had been the case, we'd all probably have gotten sick without eating it. At any rate -- no snow ice cream that year.
