Lemon Ice Cream - a Forrest family recipe

I was a little shocked by the 10 eggs, but then I found out that it makes 4 litres.

There is a lot of whipping involved. First, you whip the egg yolks with half a cup of sugar.


Then you reduce 350 ml of lemon juice to 150 ml, adding 1/2 cup of sugar.   Mix with the yolks and the grated rind of 6 lemons. Whip 750 ml cream and combine. Whip the evaporated milk (1 tin) and fold in. Whip egg whites with 1/2 cup of sugar and combine.


Freeze for 8 hours. It is harder than commercial ice cream. The lemon makes it taste a bit like sherbet.
