Day 7 You know your a Mormon if...

…you find a recipe of ice cream from a Prophet.

Was looking through a recipe book my grandmother gave me a long time ago for some ice cream recipes and found this one. Joseph Fielding Smith is a relative of Joseph Smith, first President of our church, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So I was glad to see this recipe. 5 cups of sugar! Wow! What you are making is simple sugar syrup and adding the rest of the ingredients.
The recipe is a collection from Nan Reuel. As I google searched this, I found out that the original recipe comes from Joseph Fielding Smith’s daughter, Amelia Smith McConkie.
