I haven't tried this yet, but it sounded good and probably a nice way to start off your morning. Different types or combinations of berries would work great.

Ice Cream In a Bag

Recipe sent in by: D. Archer
Super fast & easy, great for the kids!

- 1/2 c Milk
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 Tbs Sugar ( to taste )
- 6 Tbs Salt
- Ice
- Gallon sized freezer bag
- Quart sized freezer bag

1) In the quart sized freezer bag, fill with milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. Seal bag well.
2) In the gallon sized bag, add the ice and salt.
3) Place small bag into the larger bag and seal well.
4) Shake the bag for about 10 minutes. This is where having the kids play with their food is actually ok! The bag does get cold though so you may consider using a towel.

NOTE:
Do NOT double this recipe, it doesn't work too well. Just make separate servings. Each one makes about 1 scoop worth of ice cream.

This is fun to do, takes very little. BUT it does take arm power. Tossing the bag back and forth is a good way to make it easier and make the time pass quicker. It makes a sort of soft ice cream, but it is tasty.

Additionally, you can substitute cocoa powder for vanilla if you want a chocolate version. You could also add flavored extracts or syrups for different varieties. Lemon would work nicely for a refreshing version.

Super easy and fun to make, great for parties or kids.

- 1 Can of Sliced Pineapple in juice
- 3.5 quarts water ( More or less to your own taste )


1) In a large pitcher or bowl ( you need to be able to hold 1 gallon of liquid ), put in the kool-aid packet, sugar, and mix with 2 quarts of water.
2) Add in 4 Tbs iced tea mix and 2 cups of water. Mix all together and add in the pineapple WITH the juice. Stir then chill until cold or if there is space, add ice to chill.

I made this tonight for a picnic we are having tomorrow, it tastes nice and refreshing! It can be made to look more elegant by adding in slices of orange, served in a wine glass with crushed ice, and topped with a sprig of fresh mint.
