Ice Cream in a Can

One of the things I enjoyed making with my boys was Ice Cream in a Can, a large coffee can. I'm not sure they are available anymore, but I'm certain other options can be found.

Needed items:

• Large can with lid (a large 3 lb. coffee can with plastic lid works best)
• Small baby food jars, cleaned and with lids
• Gloves
• Duct Tape
• Eggs
• Sugar
• Vanilla
• 1 Carton of Half 'n Half
• 1 Can of Milnot Evaporated Milk
• Milk
• Rock Salt/Ice Cream Salt
• Ice, crushed enough to fit well and pack around baby food jars inside large can

Mix together: 4 eggs (beat well), 2 1/2 c. sugar, 1 Tbsp. vanilla, 1 carton of Half 'n Half, 1 can of Milnot, then add enough milk to make a gallon of the ice cream mixture.

Place in small baby food jars, 3/4 full. Layer ice, salt and filled baby food jars inside the tin can. Place lid on can, securing it all the way around with Duct tape. Have people (preferably children!) sit a little ways apart from one another on the floor and begin rolling the can back and forth. It tends to get rather cold, so gloves might be needed/preferred. The rolling (freezing) process normally takes around ten minutes.

Let the giggling begin!
