Ice Cream-Hands On

July is National Ice Cream month and the third Sunday of July (today July 18th!) is National Ice Cream day!  This is a month I love, as I do many ice cream demonstrations and hands-on history camps with children.  It was a beautiful day Friday by the Delaware River as 15 children at a history camp in Gloucester County, New Jersey, prepared the blocks of ice for the coopered bucket.   These two young men are turning the pewter sabotiere containing the cream mixture to make ice cream.  The pewter scraper on the table is ready for scraping down the sides of the sabotiere as the cream mixture freezes.  With alternating turning and scraping, the children prepared the ice cream.  At the end of camp, ice cream was shared with both campers and families.  Visit my website at www.hearttohearthcookery.com and celebrate National Ice Cream Day with some ice cream!
