Ripe bananas make homemade vanilla ice cream sweeter, softer and creamier, perfect to mix with berries. A quart mason jar with a lid is all it takes to make a pint of ice cream in your freezer. Half full, so you can shake it. This recipe uses a teaspoon of vodka and shaking to prevent ice crystals, so the ice cream stays soft, creamy and smooth. The vodka acts as anti-freeze. The alcohol content in the ice cream is less than half of one percent.
You can make both creamy dairy banana berry ice cream, or greek yoghurt banana berry ice cream with this recipe. To soften hard frozen ice cream, place in refrigerator 30 minutes before scooping.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
