Alden Family Lemon Banana Ice Cream

Apparently this is is a family tradition.

Ingredients (my version):


2 lemons, peeled very well.
2 oranges, peeled very well.
2 bananas, peeled.
1 cup sugar.
2 cups half & half.

Process: 

Load everything except the half & half into the blender. Set blender on high for several minutes: until everything is completely blended, and then let it blend some more. We want this extremely smooth.

Stop blender. Add half & half. Blend on lowest setting for a few seconds, until it's well mixed together.

Load it into the ice cream maker and fire it up. This takes a little longer to freeze than some.

The original recipe called for the juice of the lemons and the oranges. I used the whole fruit, since the blender did such a good job of reducing the substance to liquid. 

This is really good. Got some zing to it. I might add a little vanilla to it next time, to round it off. 

Good with cookies, or dark chocolate.
