I got this recipe from my sister-in-law.  It's super delicious and basic.  My favorite kind of recipe.  It has already been added to my tried-and-true recipe cookbook.  And we've made it another time since.  Because we just made it for our little family, we had a decent amount leftover.  So we freeze it, and enjoy it as a treat for several nights afterwards.  Even better!  This one seems like a good recipe to try using a real vanilla bean, I'm hoping to try it this summer some time.

Basic Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

1 quart (4 cups) milk

1 quart (4 cups) half and half

1 pint (2 cups) heavy cream

1 1/2 Tbsp vanilla

1 can sweetened condensed milk 

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup sugar

*Instead of using half and half, I did about 6 cups milk with the 2 cups cream.  It worked out just great doing it that way.
