OLD TIME SNOW CREAM ICE CREAM RECIPES
OLD TIME SNOW CREAM
ICE CREAM RECIPES
-KID FRIENDLY
It has been snowing a lot here in the hills of Kentucky
for around 3 weeks now snow had been falling pretty regularly.
I got to thinking about the old time tradition of making snow cream
or as some call it, snow ice cream.
I want to share some snow cream recipes with you today.
In all of the Snow Cream recipes be sure when adding ingredients
Stir quickly.
You want to get it all mixed before the snow melts.
Note of CAUTION:
MAKE double sure the snow is CLEAN.
Mom used to tell me you had to wait until the second good
size snow before the air was clean enough to make safe snow cream.
Make sure you do not collect the snow where
critters and birds eat or use the restroom.
The most important ingredient in any of these recipes
is C L E A N snow.
SNOW ICE CREAM NOG FLAVORED
1 cup of milk
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
dash of salt
Blend all ingredients well and
add clean, fresh snow till absorbed
and the consistency is like soft ice cream.
^
SWEET SNOW ICE CREAM
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup milk or cream
2 quarts Snow

Pour mixture over snow.

1/2 C sugar

Stir in snow a bit at a time
until reaching an ice creamy consistency.
Variations:

-Chocolate snow cream:
add some instant cocoa mix
or
a little nestle's
For creative snow creams add:
-raisins and cinnamon
or
-an over-ripe banana, pureed
or
-a little strawberry glaze.
Either add more snow or cut down on the milk a little,
you don't want too much liquid.

-add a beaten egg
Topping Ideas:
top with chocolate syrup
top with melted caramel
top with sliced strawberrys

LEAF MOLD COMPOST PHOTO BY OLD CABIN
Hello Friends,
I took a long walk in our woods today.
It is just cold enough to keep you moving but
warm enough so you can still enjoy the walk.
I went back to check on his leaf mold bins.
You can read our original Leaf Mold post here.
It snowed again last night and I enjoy taking photos of the snow.
Here is a pic of his three teired leaf mold bin set-up.
He placed it next to the old Farm house we found when cleaning
up one of our potential house site areas.
If you would like to read the original how to article about
How to start your own leaf mold compost pile.
You can go here and read all about it.
