Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

I love homemade ice cream!! I remember making ice cream many times growing up. I loved adding the ice and rock salt and taking my turn cranking the crank. Actually I don't know about cranking the crank. I remember making it in the winter when we could use snow instead of ice. I don't have an ice cream maker:(...but that's okay, I used Prudy's maker-less method. If you haven't checked out Prudence Pennywise, please do!! Prudy has a wonderful blog with WONDERFUL recipes. I have made many and can say they have all been delicious! Anyway, I stirred the ice cream about every 1/2 to 1 hour. I found myself taking a bite or two every time I stirred, so I kept it closer to 1 hour:)

We love plain old vanilla ice cream around here, then everyone can stir in their favorite add-ins! My husband LOVES coarsely chopped Butterfinger!! If you try this, I hope you enjoy!!!
