Crunchy Caramel Ice Cream Recipe

This recipe for caramel ice cream is taken from the book "Aunt Babette's Cook Book, Foreign and Domestic Receipts for the Household" by Aunt Babette, published by Bloch Publishing and Printing Company, Chicago, in 1889.

Boil one pound of sugar in a saucepan until it is a brown caramel, and then pour it into a porcelain bowl, and set in a cool place until cold. Then pound to a powder in a mortar, or roll on a board with a rolling pin until crushed fine.

Now boil one quart of cream, beat the yolks of twelve eggs or less until light, add gradually to the cream; also the caramel, remove from the fire, and when cold, freeze in ice cream freezer. You may add an additional flavour of vanilla or orange. Adding whipped cream improves it.
