Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

I have never attempted homemade ice cream before, but we found a recipe on one of my Grandmother's old recipe cards and we gave it a try. I thought it turned out pretty good, although I am sure there are probably other recipes out there I would like to try too.  But, for starters, here is a nice basic vanilla.

Oh, and be sure to use NICE vanilla.  It makes all the difference!
