This is how we roll

Go gather these ingredients plus 2 cans of different sizes, one large one small with tight fitting lids, (we used a hot chocolate can and a formula can-a #10 can would have worked better for the bigger can-and if you drink coffee-the best sizes are a 1 lb can and a 3 lb can). I'll wait...Got all that?
Good.
In the smaller can put one cup of milk, one cup of cream, 1/3 cup sugar and about a teaspoon of vanilla. Place smaller can inside larger can and pack with ice and sprinkle with a good dose of rock salt.
Then do this for about 10 minutes.

After rolling back and forth, dump the ice, open the smaller can, scrape the sides and close it back up. Repeat ice and rock salt and roll it again! About 5 more minutes and you'll have about 3 cups of delicious ice cream, some worn out kids and lots of proud 'look what we did' smiles.

You can add stuff to it too-like chocolate, fruit or candy.

We made this in high school in my advanced foods class, and I just pulled out the recipe the other day after talking about ideas for a pioneer day party in July.

Good times.
