The local organic farmers market I've been ordering foods from has a
dairy that offers "ice cream mix" that I've been curious about. When
I've made ice cream (few times) I've made a custard first. Yet I get the
impression I could just pour this stuff in, flavor it up a bit and churn
and voila~! Is this common?? Have you ever used such a thing?? This is
what they say about the item:

> Enjoy homemade ice cream without all the intensive preparation! Mix made with our milk

and cream will come frozen, just thaw in the refrigerator. Then add mix
and a flavoring or

fruit of your choice (strawberry, peach, blueberry, blackberry, etc.)to
your homemade

ice cream maker. When it reaches a thick smooth consistency, enjoy!
Perfect for summer

parties or family nights!
