For all your hard work home canning this year, don’t you think you deserve a break – and a treat? Today I give you both as I introduce you to the concept of making homemade ice cream. But ice cream is much more than a wildly popular dessert. It also happens to provide a natural complement to our home canning.

When you make ice cream at home, can add many of the items you’ve already canned, such as cherries, peaches, and berries to take your ice cream to a whole new level. Once you learn to make ice cream at home, you may never go back to store-bought again.

Here’s the secret about making ice cream at home: It is super easy! In today’s show I walk you through my favorite recipe for making a basic – but wonderful tasting – vanilla homemade ice cream. From there I show you how you how to blend in some of your home canned goodies. You are also going to need to buy an ice cream maker if you don’t have one already. I tell you which one I use, how it works, and why I like it so much.

Things we Talk about in Today’s Show

  • Cuisinart Ice Crean Maker I Recommend (Amazon affiliate links)
  • Basic Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe – Get started making great homemade ice cream with this recipe.
  • Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe – I made this, it turned out really good, but I still like the vanilla better.
  • Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe – One way to start using your canning goodies in your ice cream.
  • Butter Pecan Ice Cream Recipe – Never made it but can’t wait to try. So happy to have found this.

In home canning as well as in life, we sometimes get off our game; some call it “losing our mojo”. You know that feeling: Things aren’t quite right, we keep messing up, we can’t seem to get into that rhythm that keeps us productive and allows us to feel at ease. That’s what it has been like for me this growing season. In today’s episode I tell you how a simple bucket of cucumbers got me back in balance. It’s an episode I think you’ll enjoy.

Seasonal canners will benefit by refreshing themselves on techniques, concepts, and processes that form the foundation to safe home canning. Those new to home canning will find trusted places to learn and get started.

The cherries are in! Will you be home canning cherries this year? If so, what do you plan to make? With so many choices, you’ll find the effort so much more rewarding if you just take a bit of time upfront to think through the options.

Here’s some things you could make with your cherries this year —

  • Cherry Almond Jam
  • Cherries for baking / Pie filling
  • Canned cherries
  • Plain cherry jam
  • Cherries mixed with other fruits
  • Cherry sauce for Danish or ice cream
  • Cherry vanilla preserves
  • Cherries for yogurt

For me, this was my first time canning cherries. Since I love cherry yogurt so much, but don’t want all the added sugar and corn syrup that comes with commercially prepared varieties, I decided to make my own cherries for adding to plain yogurt I’ve already tasted it and it’s great!

Want to make your own homemade yogurt to go with your cherries? See CS-029, Make Your Own Yogurt at Home to learn more.

I spent the 4th of July in Norway. It’s such a beautiful country I call it the Land of Once Upon a Time. While there I also learned of some interesting canning and food traditions I share in today’s show.

As a reminder, this podcast relies heavily on information and expertise provided by the USDA (link is external), the National Center for Food Preservation (link is external), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (link is external) and the Ball Blue Book of Preserving.
