Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is one that your Great-Grandma Scott made every summer (except she did not cook the eggs, which is now recommended). Recipe is for a 4 quart (1 gallon) freezer. If freezer is 1 1/2 gallon, then adjust recipe accordingly.

Editor's note: Grandma would make the recipe for the ice cream, but seems like she used a mess of us grandchildren to take turns turning the crank. The only thing that kept us cranking was the anticipation of the homemade ice cream!
