Maple Ice Cream

I've been planning on make a cooking blog for a long while now (wherein I will copy and paste pictures of elaborate gourmet meals from Google and pretend I made them), so might as well make this the beginning of it.

You will need:
1. 6 eggs
2. 2 cups maple syrup. Use real maple syrup, not the cheap welfare-class Aunt Jemima pancake syrup.
3. 2 cups milk
4. 2.5 tablespoons cornstarch
5. 0.5 teaspoon salt
6. 3 cups whipping cream
7. 1.5 teaspoons vanilla

Directions:
1. In a large bowl beat eggs until creamy and then add next 4 ingredients (maple syrup - salt), stirring to blend.
2. Transfer mixture to top of double boiler set over simmering water, over low heat.
3. Cook, for 5-10 minutes, stirring constanlly until mixture coats spoon. Remove from heat. Let cool.
4. Stir cream and vanilla into mixture.
5. Transfer mixture to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's directions.

Makes approximately 750 - 1000ml. Requires about 40 minutes with 30 minutes preparation times.
*Adding toasted walnuts seems like a good idea. It'd give it that maple walnut ice creamy taste.

At the moment I don't have an ice cream maker, but I have a itch to remedy this situation with that long overdue trip to Williams Sonoma. Inshallah.
