I wish to thank my sister Pat Hanson for helping me start this project, Sta-c Fleming for all her help with everything, including milking, Barbara Trollinger for her patience and the use of her computer and oven, and Becky Essman for her support. Also, I want to thank Minerva, Ruby, and Lotus Blossomthe Ice Cream Goats! Introduction Welcome to the wonderful experience of homemade ice cream! All of the recipes in this book have been put together, made, and tested by the author and a bunch of willing human guinea pigs. All recipes were made with goat milk; however, cows milk will work as well. I have several friends who are lactose intolerant but are able to eat the goat milk ice cream as long as its all goat: milk and cream.
Goat milk has much smaller fat globules that make it easier to digest. At any rate, churn away and have a great time making your own tasty ice cream! All recipes make approximately one gallon unless otherwise noted. Its best to put the ice cream in plastic containers right after making it, but you can leave it in the canister if you want.

Making Ice Cream You can use store-bought cream, but be sure it has no added sugar (no bavarian or bakers cream). Horizons Organic Farms puts out a good cream if you want to keep things au naturale. If youve got the goats and are really into making ice cream and cheese, a milk separator is a very handy thing to have; just dont set it above medium on the thickness for ice cream. One very important thing to remember is that its not the ice that makes the mix freezeits ice water. I usually put a pitcher of water in the refrigerator overnight or in the freezer for l2 hours. After doing my layers of ice and rock salt and starting the machine, I add the cold water.
This will save you 1520 minutes time wise. After the ice cream is made, I save a pitcher of the salt water, bagging it for future use, and drain the remaining ice. This not only cuts down on time (510 minutes) but reduces the amount of ice and rock salt I needed as I dont have to layer the ice and salt at the
beginning. Putting the ice cream maker in the sink while making it helps keep a layer of cold air around the bucket. For creamier ice cream, substitute 12 cups of milk with more
cream. Use plastic freezer containers with tight lids.
Ice cream stored in this way can last up to a year, depending on the temperature of your freezer.
