Anyone make icecream?

We are planning on firing up the ice cream maker on June 4th for Shiloh’s 9th birthday. Anyone have a good recipe. We have made a great chocolate chip and might go that way but want input on some others.

    Does Shiloh like some fruits?
    There is a ton of new, ripe fruit in our stores this weekend. The strawberries are excellent as are the blueberries. No peaches yet, of course. The melons are tasty when allowed to ripen a little bit.
    If she doesn't like fruit, then Vanilla Bean or something chocolate might get her attention.

    Best.

    My dad would dump a can of "Tattered Tom" peaches into the mix when it started to get thick.
    Juice and all; made great ice cream with chunks of peaches and lots of flavor.
    Can't find "Tattered Tom" peaches these days.  May have to let some ripen on the counter!

    Living in what used to be The Cherry Capital of the World, my favorite homemade ice cream (made by my late Great Uncle Charles) was Vanilla.   It was good on its own but he also made a sweet thick sauce with Rainier sweet cherries which was generously dipped over the bowl of ice cream.  

    Oh MAaaaan!   It was GOOOOooooood!! :p

    Heat 3 2/3 cup of sugar in milk until dissolved.

    Dissolve 4-6 Junket tablets.

    Three Tbs vanilla. I use real vanilla not imitation.

    Put in Ice cream freezer than add 1 pint 1/2 and 1/2 and half pint whipping cream.

    Add milk to 4” from top of freezer.

     when 1st married we  bought q  a ice cream maker but to me too slow for the final result . it was OK but too easy to pull a gallon out a local store 
         
        as a little kid the first or second snow fall that amounted to any thing mom and dad would scoop up a bucket full add in sugar ,cream , I will guess vanilla and called it snow cream . 
     thinking back  nothing like eating all the industrial waste the snow brought with it but then again some of my southern family still used rain barrels  at that time to supply water to use and drink would add Clorox to kill the bad things but it tasted like Clorox also
