Cherry Ice Cream

By ukiahgal67

Ingredients

• 1 jar(s) (10 ounce) maraschino cherries, undrained and cut into fourths (or smaller, if preferred).
• 1 can(s) (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
• 3 Tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp grated lime zest, optional
• 1 c heavy whipping cream

Preparation

Step 1

1.
Combine undrained Maraschino Cherries and juice, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice and lime zest in a large bowl.

2.
Whip cream in a medium bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until stiff peaks form.

3.
Fold Whipped Cream into Cherry mixture.

4.
Pour into a 2 quart freezer-safe container or a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
My mother used ice trays (with the inserts removed)to freeze her ice cream.

5.
Cover and freeze until firm. Or you can leave in the freezer overnight.

NOTE:
The longer you leave it in the freezer, the firmer it gets. If you want to make ice cream sandwiches (and this makes marvelous ice cream sandwiches -chocolate cookies, YUM), you need to have it real firm.
