Easy Vanilla Ice Cream

4 cups half & half

1 cup heavy cream

¾ cup white sugar

2 tsp vanilla

Pinch of salt

Mix together sugar and 1 cup liquid. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir until sugar is dissolved and not grainy. Combine with rest of ingredients in a bowl, mix well. Pour into ice cream maker. Process for 30 minutes. Serve soft, or scoop into plastic container and freeze until desired firmness (1-2 hours).

*I only have a 1 quart ice cream maker, so this is scaled to fit that.

**it’s ok to sub part (or all) of the liquid with regular milk or evaporated (can) milk; but the less cream you use, the more slushy-like the ice cream turns out. But do NOT use the heavy cream substitute recipe I have posted.
