How to Freeze Desserts

Ingredients

• ice
• coarse rock salt
• 1 cup cold water (if using snow)

Directions

1. Crush ice finely in a burlap bag using a mallet or axe.

2. Place the can with the mixture to be frozen in a wooden tub and cover it.

3. Pack three measures of ice with one measure of salt around the can, pressing down with the mallet handle.

4. If freezing a small quantity, pack ice and salt just above the mixture level.

5. Turn the crank slowly to expose the mixture to the ice and salt.

6. Once frozen to a mush, turn the crank more rapidly, adding more ice and salt if needed.
