Modern Eskimo Ice Cream

Step 1

Slice the Crisco into small pieces then add to a pot over low heat. Stir slowly and constantly until liquid. Never let the mixture get hotter than is comfortable for your hand.

Step 2

Once the Crisco is melted into a liquid, gradually add in sugar while continuing to stir. Continue until all the sugar is dissolved and liquid.

Step 3

Once the mixture is all liquid, remove the pot from heat, but continue to stir. Add in 1/4 cup of water (or 1 cup of snow) to the mixture. As the mixture starts to cool it will thicken and get more fluffy and white. Then, add in the other 1/4 cup of water (or 1 cup of snow).

Step 4

When the mixture is as fluffy and white as you can get it, fold in the berries. Form into desired shape or place in desired container and then put in freezer to firm.

Step 5

Let sit for 1 hour before serving.
