Ingredients

2 cups sugar

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup Butter

1 cup milk

1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1 cup light corn syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Butter a 9×13 pan (full batch) or 9×9 (half batch) and put pan in freezer.

This recipe can be halved.

Combine all ingredients except vanilla in heavy 4-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes or until butter is melted and mixture comes to a boil.

Reduce heat as low as you can so that it continues boiling. continue cooking 25-30+ minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 248°F (The longer this takes the better as that is what develops the deep flavor).

Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Cool completely – Refrigerate 1 hour should do the trick.

I pull the whole slab of caramel out of the pan onto wax-paper to cut it.

Homemade Ice Cream

(White Mountain 5 qt mixer)

Ingredients

9 Large Eggs
3 cans of Sweetened Condensed Milk (Grandpa Blaser like 4 cans)
1 1/2 Tbsp vanilla
Dash of salt
2 pints of heavy cream (Grandpa Blaser like 3 pints)
1 pint of half and half
Whole milk
Rock salt — for mixing with the ice (NOT to put in the ice cream!)
 

Directions

Place ice cream container, dasher, lid and a stainless steel mixing bowl in fridge
While that’s getting cold gather the ingredients.

Take out the cold bowl put in it:

9 large eggs
Then mix them together slowly (mix – do not beat) until all yellow and is not lumpy (but not frothy).

Depending on taste – add 3 cans of Sweetened Condensed Milk (Grandpa Blaser like 4 cans) and mix – do not beat.

Add 1 1/2 Tbsp vanilla
Dash of salt
and mix – do not beat.

Add 2 pints of heavy cream (Grandpa Blaser like 3 pints)
1 pint of half and half
Mix it again just until mixed.

Get container out of fridge and dump mixture into the container.
Add regular whole milk to three fingers below the top of the container.
Do not over fill.
Use a wooden spoon to mix the milk with the mixture in the container.

Insert the dasher into the container and put the lid on.
Place the container into the ice cream bucket and put the motor on the dasher of the lidded container.

Put three inches of ice in the bucket and a layer of salt.
Add another three inches of ice and a layer of salt.
When it is half full, start the motor turning and then fill up the rest of the bucket alternating between ice and salt.
When the container is turning and freezing the ice cream, be sure and use a wooden spoon handle and break the layers of ice so that they do not freeze solidly around the container. This is very important. Break the ice, add ice and salt, continue using the wooden spoon to keep it from freezing solidly until the machine stops turning.

Ice cream should be done in about 20 minutes.
Machine will stop turning.
Unplug the motor.
Take the motor off carefully without pulling the lid off the container.
Put ice over the lid. Place a towel on top of the bucket and container and let it sit for 1/2 hour.

Take the ice down 2 inches from the top of the container.
Make sure all the salt is off the lid before you remove it from the container.

Make sure you use a new scoop that does not have salt on it.
You can take the dasher out of the ice cream when it gets down far enough.
Enjoy.
Put extra ice cream, if any, into containers and put it in the freezer.

Pressure Cooker Cheesecake

 

I didn’t think this was possible in a pressure cooker but let me tell you this cheesecake is amazing !!

Ingredients

 

1 1/4 C graham cracker crumbs

5 Tbsp butter (melted and cooled)

1 Pound regular cream cheese. (Must be full fat)

1/2 C Sugar

2 Large eggs at room temperature

1/4 C sour cream

1 1/2 Tbsp all purpose flour

1/2 tsp  vanilla extract

—  if you want it lemon flavored  then add the following:

1 Tbsp  fresh lemon juice

2 tsp  finally grated lemon zest

 

Directions

Set a rack inside the pressure cooker and pour in two cups of water.

 

Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl. Lightly butter the inside of the 7 inch spring form pan. If you’re using a bigger pressure cooker you can use an 8 inch spring form pan.

Press the graham crackers into the pan and slightly up the sides.

 

Place the cream cheese and sugar in a food processor and process until creamy and smooth stopping the machine to scrape down the insides periodically. Add the eggs one at a time through the feed tube processing each until smooth.

Add vanilla extract and process

 

Add the sour cream and process until smooth, then add the flour and process for one minute. If you’re making lemon cheesecake then process in the lemon juice and zest.

 

Pour the batter into the prepared pan taking care not to dislodge the crumb crust. Do not cover.

 

Make a sling out of aluminum foil and lower the pan into the pressure cooker on top of the rack. Leave the sling inside. Lock the lid and set the machine on high for 25 minutes. If you’re using a stovetop cooker bring it to low-pressure and  once pressure has been reached process for 35 minutes.

 

When cooking is done unplug the machine and let the pressure come down naturally. If using a stovetop cooker remove it from the heat and let the pressure come down on its own.

 

Pull the cheesecake out of the pressure cooker and refrigerate for three hours before serving.
