Snow Ice Cream

From Great Depression Recipes. My Dad made a version of this one too when I was a kid. It helps to live in a place where you aren't worried about polluted snow, of course. Of course, the way things are going - I'm not sure where that would be. Mars, perhaps?

* 2 eggs beaten
* 6 tablespoons sugar
* 1 1/2 cups half and half
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla


In a large bowl, add sugar to the beaten eggs, and mix real good until all are blended well. Add half and half, and the vanilla. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Chill. Then put on your boots grab a large roaster pan and large spoon and fill pan with clean fresh snow. As soon as you get in, start mixing the snow to the cooled mixture until it is thick, then enjoy
