“My dad always said we had to wait until there was at least 2 and 1/2 feet of snow already on the ground with more coming steadily because then we knew the snow was clean. I can count on one hand the number of times the snow was clean enough to make snow ice cream. It's almost worth moving to a part of the country that gets more snow because boy is it good stuff! This recipe contains raw eggs. We recommend that pregnant women, young children, the elderly and the infirm do not consume raw eggs.” - by SUZYL

"This was a holiday tradition with my father. If you're concerned about the eggs, not to worry. Don't use them. Similar recipes call for a pinch of salt, too. But I use just milk, sugar, vanilla and sn..." See moreow. Tastes great. Also, regular milk works fine if you don't have evaporated milk. As for clean snow, when it starts snowing a good, fluffy snow coming straight down, we put a large pan outside to catch clean snow. If there's 4-6 inches on the ground, you can skim off the top. Don't try to use a blowing snow or snow that's been on the ground a couple of days. You need a dry, fluffy snow."
