I actually won this recipe on a D.C. Ghost Tour. It's Thomas Jefferson's recipe, or so say the spirits.
Ingredients:
1 quart heavy cream
6 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla or grated vanilla bean
Directions:
Scald the cream, and then gradually add to it the egg yolks, which have been beaten until creamy and then beaten some more (to teach them a lesson) while gradually adding the sugar and salt. Leave on the stove, stirring constantly until the moisture is thick. Remove from the stove and strain. Now stir in the vanilla, and pour the mixture into a hand-crank ice cream freezer, around which ice and salt have been packed in a ratio of 1 part salt to 3 parts ice. Crank freezer until ice cream is thick. Pour out the ice cream into a mold which is surrounded with salt and ice in a ratio of 1 part salt to 4 parts ice. Place in a cold spot until it sets and serve immediately. Makes 3 pints.
