I wonder how many calories are in 6 quarts of ice cream?

All of them. I haven't made any ice cream in a minute. My butter pecan is awesome.

Deceased father-in-law had a peach tree farm & we used to pick fresh peaches, wash'em, & throw several into the ice cream blender. Nuttin better. Unless you put a large slice of hot apple pie under a large scoop. With anything home made, carbs, calories, fat grams, don't count. Wife's rules.

Love making ice cream. Back in the 50s my granddaddy used to run to the ice house down the road, pick up a couple of blocks of ice, chop them up with an ice pick and throw them in the churn. Then us grand kids were responsible for hand cranking the churn for an hour or so. I still use granddaddy's recipe except I use an electric churn and bags of ice from 7-11.

Yep...good times right there. Old fellow that ran the local ice house had a bum eye, wore overalls, smoked a cigar and also ran the local wrecker service. He was quite the character.
