Recipe: Fresh Fruit (Banana) Ice Cream

In honor of spring's late arrival here in the mountains, I'm going to make some fresh fruit ice cream this weekend. The recipe is an Eagle Brand one, and so easy!

Fresh Fruit Ice Cream

3 cups half and half
1 (14 oz can) sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated)
1 cup mashed or pureed fresh fruit (we use banana)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
food coloring (optional)

In a 2 quart ice cream freezer container, combine all ingredients; mix well. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

For a more traditional texture, you might want to transfer to a freezer friendly container and place ice cream in a freezer to harden.
