Follow the homemade ice cream recipe listed above, and consider adding a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of any of the following or any combination of the following. Because of the water content of many fruits, the consistency may not be as firm. If adding a syrup or sauce use only 2 to 3 tablespoons per 1 cup of milk or creme, do not add hot, a warm consistency is best.

Fruit

• Strawberry's
• Peaches
• Cherries (consider adding chocolate with cherries)

Melons will not work because the water content is too high. Otherwise, use your imagination

Treats
