Since Memorial Day is right around the corner, I think that this next week, I will concentrate on recipes which you could use for your Memorial Day picnic. Flipping through my old 1970’s spiral notebook which I had written down so many favorite recipes from my Italian neighbor, Cam, I saw this recipe that we used so many times over brownies, homemade icecream or trifles. It is delicious and makes a great gift if you put it in a mason jar and tie a ribbon around the lid.
1 pkg (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1 1/3 cup evaporated milk
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teas vanilla
Melt chips and butter over low heat, stirring occastionally. Add sugar and milk, blending well. Bring to a boil and cook about 8 min over low heat, stirring constantly. Add vanilla. Serve warm. Store unused portion in fridge and reheat when needed. Makes 2 2/3 cup sauce.
Homemade Ice Cream
4 eggs beaten
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 can pet milk
1 tables vanilla.
Mix all ingredients. Pour into freezer can and then fill up the ice cream freezer to the fill line with milk. (Most of the time, I use half and half or part whipping cream.) Remember the more whipping cream and half and half you use instead of just milk, the creamier the ice cream. Freeze according to directions on freezer. Makes 4 qts.

Yum Yum! I love homemade ice cream–there’s nothing else like it!

Wish you were here, we could make some and just eat until our hearts (or tummies) were content. Have enjoyed Cam being here and he says that he is so excited about Camilla coming. I told him I thought her name was Trudilena Randette, but for some reason, he keeps calling her Camilla. Hum……..
