HOW TO PREPARE ICE CREAM
Prepare the mixture for freezing early in the morning, while working in the kitchen, and then when it is cool place in the ice box to be thoroughly chilled until needed. Scald and cool the can and then place in the refrigerator. When ready to prepare the cream for freezing, place the ice in a bag and with a wooden mallet pound it fine. Now pour the prepared mixture into the cold can and place the dasher in position. Place the can in the freezer and adjust the turning crank, and give a few turns of the handle to see that everything is working easily. Now use a pint bowl for measuring and pour in three measures of ice, then one of salt. Repeat this until the ice and salt are above the mixture inside the can. It is necessary to be accurate if you wish to obtain good results.
