Simple Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

Making vanilla ice cream is very simple to do.  Here is a simple recipe from Food Network:

• 3 cups heavy cream
• 2/3 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean

In a small saucepan heat the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean until all the sugar is dissolved.  Then strain it into a bowl and cover the bowl and freeze it in an ice cream freezer for a few hours.  Before serving it allow it to soften.
