During the snowpocalypse here in east Texas just before Valentine’s day, I collected about 22 cups of snow and put them in the freezer. Hey, it’s the most snow that has fallen in the area since I moved here in 1987. I wanted to save it for as long as I could! My family wasn’t the only one enjoying (or surviving, depending on your perspective) the snow. As it turns out 49 of the 50 states had snow on Friday, February 12. Hawaii decided not to join in the fun, understandably.
Just when we thought March would bring a thaw, more crazy winter weather, including snow, is being predicted for much of the United States. I guess since it’s supposedly going to snow here in Texas tomorrow, I can use some of that snow I gathered for remembrance. Set out a couple of large bowls to gather the main ingredient (if it’s not already in your freezer) while you watch Americans own the Olympic podium, then have your own dish of sweet victory.
Ingredients
- 1 gallon snow (16 cups)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk
Directions
- Gather snow and place in a large, clean bowl.
- Stir in sugar and vanilla to taste.
- Stir in just enough milk for the desired consistency.
- Serve at once or freeze until later.
