Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

 

This is another spin-off recipe from the Homemade Peppermint Ice Cream Recipe.

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream - uses Jello

14 Marshmallows, the regular size

1 c. Whole Milk

1/2 c. Cranberry Cherry Juice

Approx. 1 c. Chopped Fresh Strawberries
3 oz. Pkg. Strawberry Jello

4 oz. (1/2 container) Whipped Topping, like Cool Whip

1/2 c. Whole Milk

1/2 c. Cranberry Cherry Juice

 

In a saucepan over low/medium heat mix the first 5 ingredients. Heat and stir until the marshmallows are fully dissolved. 

Cool slightly then place pan in freezer - Watch it closely, stirring every 10 minutes or so. This version will 'gel' before it starts getting mushy. So before it sets up too much, mix in the remaining 3 ingredients . If needed, use a hand mixer to blend it well. Then pour mixture into a plastic container and seal.
Return to freezer until firm, overnight is best.

 

Bye for now.

Convert-A-Gauge ~ How to Convert the Gauge in Knit or Crochet Patterns

Convert -A- Gauge

Pattern Gauge Conversion Method by Patty Kubitzki

 

Convert ANY knit or crochet pattern gauge

to your swatch gauge using simple math calculations.

Will work for crochet or hand or machine knitting patterns.

How often have you tried to make a garment but

ended with frustration because you couldn't match the gauge

given in the instructions or have seen a garment you wanted

to make but desired it in a different yarn?

Making tension swatches over and over trying to match a certain

gauge sometimes seems so futile that often the

garment doesn't get made.

End that frustration forever!

BE CREATIVE . . . Try using a different stitch pattern than

what the pattern calls for. Make your garments come out

just the way you imagine them!

Instructions include:

How to make your swatch

Directions and samples for pattern conversions

Directions and samples for calculating special cases such as

Increasing and Decreasing

Short-Rowing

Shaping

___________________________________________

This is simple math, doing calculations such as

16/8 = 2 or 24/10 = 2 with a remainder of 4

No calculator is needed.

___________________________________________

CONVERT-A-GAUGE is a unique method of changing the

numbers of stitches and rows in any knitting or crochet pattern

to the correct numbers you should knit or crochet

according to your swatch.

Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of choosing the pattern design

you like then selecting the yarn stitch pattern and needle size

you desire for a totally custom creation.
