@BossyAcres: @SheriARicherson #homesteadchat ?!?! Wow….so many good chats…I had no idea! Will have to lurk around on this one tho. |
| |
@SheriARicherson: I’m wondering how many of you raise your own dairy animals? Sheep, goats, cows – once you have them you always abundant milk. #homesteadchat |
 |
@rightasrain13: Hello! New here. Don’t think I’ll be able to contribute much. Homemade ice cream is my husband’s jurisdiction, lol!#homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - hello – and welcome to #homesteadchat! What is your favorite type of homemade ice cream?#homesteadchat |
| |
@rightasrain13: I will say that we got into making our own ice creams after discovering what gunk there is in store bought versions.#homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @BossyAcres - thank you! Please feel free to lurk – and chime in whenever you wish! Homemade ice cream is a wonderful treat! #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - isn’t it awful all the crap they put into ice cream that simply doesn’t need to be there? So unhealthy! #homesteadchat |
| |
@rightasrain13: What is your favorite type of homemade ice cream? #homesteadchat We’re still exploring that. So far, lemon. Wow, that’s good! |
| |
@SheriARicherson: We have goats. One of our goats kidded last night. Once we start milking, we always have excess~#homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - lemon sounds delicious. I should try to make some! Or lime – I have tons of lime juice!#homesteadchat |
| |
@rightasrain13: @SheriARicherson isn’t it awful all the crap they put into ice cream that simply doesn’t need to be there?#homesteadchat Yes, it’s criminal |
| |
@SheriARicherson: My favorite homemade ice cream is cinnamon – although with the holidays I like peppermint too – and bubblegum!#homesteadchat |
| |
@rightasrain13: @SheriARicherson What a blessing to have your own dairy source. We don’t as of yet & won’t on our homestead for a while. #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: RT @rightasrain13: isnt it awful all the crap they put into ice cream? #homesteadchat Yes, its criminal < worse than criminal #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - do you raise your own dairy animals? #homesteadchat |
 |
@7TREES4VICTORY: Somewhere I have an ice cream maker we have never used…I am going to go find it right now.#HOMESTEADCHAT |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - it is a blessing indeed! I suggest starting with goats. They are easy to milk and handle.#homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @7TREES4VICTORY - you will be SO glad you found it! Homemade ice cream is wonderful! #homesteadchat |
| |
@rightasrain13: @SheriARicherson How do u handle the kids? Do u need 2 separate them from Mom as w/ cows? #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: This is a recipe for Spicebush ice cream - http://t.co/BbW9TzjK #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - I leave my goat kids on mama until I am ready to milk about a month after they are born.#homesteadchat |
| |
@rightasrain13: @SheriARicherson @7TREES4VICTORY It can also be the easiest thing to make! #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - Once the goats are old enough, I seperate them only at night. I milk in the morning, leaving some for kids #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: RT @rightasrain13: @SheriARicherson @7TREES4VICTORY It can also be the easiest thing to make!#homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: Here is my favorite ice cream recipe – 2 c. cream, 2 c. milk, 1 c. sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla extract #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: Then I add in strawberries, cherries, chocolate, cinnamon, peppermint, whatever I want to taste.#homesteadchat |
| |
@rightasrain13: @SheriARicherson So baby and humans get milk. Hmm. That’s pretty cool. #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: I might add I make my own vanilla extract. Here is the recipe - http://t.co/ii9lBNFC #homesteadchat |

@cfnursery: RT @SheriARicherson: This is a recipe for Spicebush ice cream - http://t.co/BbW9TzjK #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - it really is – and best of all, you can freeze the excess milk. #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @cfnursery - welcome to #homesteadchat! Thank you for RT the spicebush ice cream recipe. #homesteadchat |
| |

@SheriARicherson: Homemade ice cream is a great way to impress your holiday guests. Hmmm – egg nog ice cream anyone?#homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @7TREES4VICTORY - don’t miss the easy ice cream recipe I posted! #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: Another tip is to look for an electric ice cream maker that does not require salt. Simply keep the dish frozen until use! #homesteadchat |

@rightasrain13: Spicebush ice cream! I’d have to scout out a spicebush, hopefully free of those horrid caterpillars! Eeek! They look creepy! #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @DSAldridge - it’s ok! You’re here now! I think it takes some time to get all the chats straight! #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - those are swallowtail butterflies! They love those bushes! #homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - if you watch you will notice all the caterpillars don’t survive. I’ve been watching the past few years – sad #homesteadchat |
| |

| |
@SheriARicherson: When you want ice cream, add the desired # of cubes to blender, cover in fresh milk and blend until smooth#homesteadchat |
| |
@SheriARicherson: @rightasrain13 - They do look scary, but that’s to protect them from predators! Human ones too I guess! lol#homesteadchat |
