July is National Ice Cream Month, so it's the perfect month to make homemade ice cream! Ice cream is a simple mix of cream and sugar with any flavoring desired, such as extracts of vanilla, peppermint, lemon or orange. Fresh or frozen fruit in the ice cream mix is also terrific! If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can make it by hand. Put the mixture in a medium-size freezer bag. Put that bag inside a larger freezer bag. Put rock salt and ice between the two bags (make sure both bags are tightly sealed!) and roll it around outside until the ice cream forms!
