Special Ice Cream Days

In every calendar year there are special days, often with a public holiday to denote their importance. When it's a special day many families and friends get together to celebrate, often with a meal. So it's an ideal opportunity for cooking up something good and when it comes to dessert .... homemade ice cream is a great idea.

Two of the most important times for many people are Thanksgiving and Christmas. On each of these you can celebrate with appropriate ice cream recipes - here are some ideas to consider:
