  • Justine tries to make lemon ice cream from an 1824 recipet. This dish doesn't call for blood, sweat and tears but we're gonna add some anyway. These are the days before Victorian hand cranked ice cream machines that became the norm yet still ice cream was everywhere! It was a favorite dessert of many rich or poor.

Vanilla beans are still to this day expensive. Thomas Jefferson in the 18th century recorded down a vanilla ice cream recipet and was said to have been obsessed with ice cream in general.

    This is fascinating. I volunteer at my local historical society, and last weekend was our annual ice cream social event. I got to docent for the first time since I started volunteering back in 2020, and both before and during the event I got to learn a lot about one of our exhibits: a hand-cranked ice cream freezer (undated). Having done some research on how important the 1846 invention of the hand-cranked ice cream freezer made ice-cream making much more accessible and less labor intensive for American households, I now find myself looking for information on how ice cream was made before the onset of hand-cranked ice cream freezer. So far, this video here has been one of THE BEST visual explanations as to how incredibly difficult making ice cream used to be. Thank you so much for making this!!!

      You should make fruit smoothies instead for cold dessert treats. Very yummy and MUCH healthier for you. They can also be so filling that it can be considered a meal and will keep you full for many hours. If you have a good blender, it can be thrown together so fast.
      My typical smoothie has a bunch of frozen berries (either just raspberries, or a mix of raspberries, blackberries, and either blueberries or strawberries), frozen sliced banana, either frozen yogurt or regular yogurt (unflavored or if that isn’t available, use vanilla), some vegan protein powder, sometimes an avocado if I have one (and/or some apple), some chia seeds and flax seeds (super duper healthy for us, and tasteless), sometimes a bit of honey or Agave (an all natural vegan substitute for honey, and healthier for you), and sometimes a bit of Naked brand “Berry Blast” fruit juice (or a comparable brand/flavor) if needed to make it more liquid and less stiff (if you’re using regular yogurt instead of frozen yogurt, you might be able to go without adding the juice). I’ve even added some frozen kale some times, and I’m NOT a fan of kale at all - you simply can’t taste it when consumed this way though and it’s so good for us.
      The main ingredients are simply the frozen berries, banana, frozen or regular yogurt, and the fruit juice if you want to make it as simple and quick as possible, but you can see by adding extra stuff that you can truly make it into a filling and mega healthy meal.
      I never eat ice cream. I’m 47 now and I’ve never been overweight, or had and health issues from my diet (but I also don’t eat meat).

      On the contrary. Men knew exactly how hard the work was. They saw their mothers and other female people do it all their lives. That’s part of the reason why marriage was pushed early on. Both people toiled to make it every day. Add child rearing and it ups the ante. Big families made for more hands but ultimately more ‘women’s’s work’.

    You, as always, well done! Nuances: 1) you need to break the ice wrapped up so that the fragments do not scatter around the house, because money has been spent on it. And also eye protection.
    2) after use, put in the cellar the ice and store there, although it is problematic with salt - it melts. And so the ice in the cellar in wooden insulated tubs is like a refrigerator;
    3) When Ron carried a block of ice, it was not necessary to carry it in his hands - he could get frostbite. He had to tie it in a knot and carry it like a bag;
    4) it is necessary to beat the ice with a large wooden hammer, it is more efficient, and it does not crumble so finely.

On Christmas Day I opened gifts and there was an electric beater!!…lol…I was excited to say the least. At least he was thinking of me while in the kitchen cooking and baking.
