Ice cream mixtures can be as simple as pureed fruit, sugar and cream,
Philadelphia-style, or based on more complicated cooked custards, Frenchstyle. Both are delicious, though French versions are slightly richer. The
recipes which follow are for both kinds. All use rich, heavy cream. If you
prefer a lighter, lower-calorie dessert, substitute milk (whole or skim) or even
yogurt for the cream in any of these recipes. Sample the mixtures before
freezing and adjust to personal taste.
Use these recipes as an inspiration for your own favorite ice creams. If you like
a little crunch, add a cup of chopped nuts, chocolate chips or candy to a quart of
mixture either before or after freezing, depending on whether you want the
crunch to be frozen, too. You can also add chopped fruit, fresh or dried,
shredded coconut, even marshmallows. It’s better to add these soft things at the end so they don’t get icy.

This base will keep for 3 to 4 days the refrigerator in a tightly covered container.
Please note that it is important that the container be well sealed or the base will
absorb flavors from other foods. If you prefer to use turbinado sugar, substitute it
for the granulated in this recipe.

This same technique will work with other pitted fruits. Fresh cherries are
particularly good. Puree the fruit in a food mill so the pits and skins are easily
separated from the pulp.
1 ¼ pounds (about 8 medium) peaches
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ½ cups milk
¾ cup sugar
3 egg yolks

juice. You should have 2 cups of puree. Refrigerate.
Place the reserved peels and pits in a saucepan with the cream and milk. Simmer
covered over low hear for 20 minutes. Do not boil. The mixture may look slightly
separated due to the acid in the fruit. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve.
Place the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk briefly. Still whisking, slowly pour in
about 1 cup of the liquid. When the mixture is blended, slowly pour it into liquid
in the saucepan, whisking constantly. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly,
until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon, about 8 minute.

ice cream in the United States. A milk dealer, he was looking for a use for his
excess cream and turned it into ice cream for 25c a quart.
History has it that in 1904 the ice cream cone was invented at the St. Louis fair by
Emest Hamwi when he rolled his waffles into cones to hold the ice cream of the
neighboring vender, who had run out of dishes.
By 1924 Americans were eating 245 million ice cream cones annually.
Sorbets
Sorbets are smooth frozen ices made without milk or other dairy products. The
beautiful, silky texture of a sorbet is at its best freshly made and still soft. It should
never be rock hard and should always be free of ice crystals. Making sorbet in our
Ice Cream Maker is so quick and easy.
As you will see, many of these mixtures are made of just fruit puree, simple syrup
and lemon juice. If you have a large food processor, you can add the syrup to the
puree in the work bowl. If not, pour the puree into bowl of the machine and add
the syrup and lemon juice to the puree. Stir to mix. Since the flavor of fruits
varies from batch to batch, always taste your mixture before freezing and add more
lemon juice or syrup as needed.
While sorbet taste wonderful served in any shape, we like to see them given a
festive presentation. Spoon some fruit puree on a dessert plate so it covers the
center in a thin layer. Using two soup spoons form the sorbet into smooth egg-
