Comments on: OLD SCHOOL ICE CREAM http://icecreamjournal.turkeyhill.com/index.php/2007/06/28/old-school-ice-cream/ Welcome to the Ice Cream Journal! Here you’ll find a collection of thoughts and stories about ice cream as well as a glimpse inside the ice cream making process at Turkey Hill Dairy. We'll also be updating our blog several times each week, so feel free to stop by often.

The freezer had belonged to her grandmother, which she inherited along with a recipe. The freezer disappeared years ago when the house was remodeled. Since reading your blog, I will go through my mother's papers to see if I can find the ice cream recipe she used. What I remember is the creamy texture and rich flavor with tiny flecks of ice that melted as soon as they touched your tongue. And vanilla! It's like recalling the taste of history. Thanks for that warm childhood memory. Sunny My late mother made ice cream in an old-fashioned freezer similar to the one in your display.

It didn't taste that good but I was pleased that I had managed to make it myself. Hmmmm, I wonder what would happen if I stuck sweetened milk in the freezer. Maybe I'd get ice cream?

Everyone (or just about) had to take their turn cranking that handle on the old freezer, even if the small ones only had to sit on the burlap bag over the top of it so the lid never, I repeat NEVER accidentaly opened and allowed some salt to creep into the beautiful, creamy ice cream. As time wore on, only the well muscled youths were turning the crank and then, it was euphoria time. I like to think of turkey Hill Farms as being that sort of setting at some time in its history here in lancaster county! I love Chocolate Mint Chip and beg Turkey Hill managers to never change the formula ar mess with the recipe. It is perfect!

My family actually made homemade ice cream the "old fashion way" not to many years ago. I am from Ohio and am 39 years old. When I was a child, we had a covered bridge right down the road from my aunt and uncle's house. We kids, would go down under the covered bridge with my dad and uncle who would chip ice. We would then take it back to the house and make ice cream with a crank ice cram maker. We kids would help but when it really started to freeze the cranker would get stuck and dad would have to take over. When the ice cream was done, we would sit in front of the fire and eat it. I can remember making vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and peach (yum, yum). The ice cream that my family made together was the best ever because it was made with love; however, turkey hill is a good alternative. I love homemade ice cream!

This made me appreciate any ice cream labeled homestyle much more. Turkey Hill fits this bill and is much more convienient than watching those machines at home.

I remember when I was little, going to visit cousins in Philadelphia from our home in Bethlehem, and if my sister and I behaved, and didn't fight in the car, etc. we would be taken to this neat place that I think was a restaurant on the highway towards home. It was called Witchwood. Really!!! It had a orange sign with a black silhouette of a witch flying on a broom. Anyway, I always chose the Plum Ice Cream and Jean, my younger sister, chose Tangerine Ice Cream.It really was a treat. I looked for a recipe for Plum Ice Cream a few years ago but it never quite seemed like the genuine Witchwood version. AAAAh the memories. I'd love some right now! Hi.

The best were always fresh peach/cheesecake (make with fresh chunks of peaches and buttermilk) and frozen custard...kind of a French vanilla/cheesecake combo. Both were outstanding. Turkey Hill's new Eggnog taste's like my Grandma's homemade ice cream and the new Lemon Frozen Yoghurt is fantastic, too! As a resident of Philly for the last eight years, the first tastes I grabbed on to here were Turkey Hill ice creams and iced teas. Nobody else has products like these.

I love the new Duette, I just bought last week - Lemon!! I was really hooked; plan to try all the flavors!!! Keep up the premium ice creams - they put some of those others to shame!!!!

Now, at 55, I am sorry I did not take the tools and do what has to be done to taste that wonder - if only one more time.

My mom was so horrible at making it, so my father always made a new batch while she was at church without her knowing and all the kids would help him. And boy it was great. My mom used to say,"Boy, you kids don't like my cooking, but you sure like my ice cream!" My father would just smile and tell us to tell he she did a great job. We'd say anything he told us to, as long as we got to eat it. Turkey Hill is the only ice cream that would come close to the homemade kind we would enjoy so much as kids. Keep up the GREAT work!

My Dad would get the wooden ice cream maker out of the basement, fill the canister with cream, sugar, and berries, then pack it in the bucket with ice and rock salt...and away we go!
