Vanilla Ice Cream...

2 Quarts Half and Half
1 C Heavy Whipping Cream
1 1/2 C Sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Salt

Mix all ingredients together until sugar is dissolved.  This recipe fits in my ice cream freezer.  Layer Rock Salt and Ice and process until desired thickness.  I pour it in a saved round, plastic, 1 gallon ice cream container with lid.  It fits nicely and then we know exactly what's in it... Vanilla Ice Cream!
