To make this a 5-star review, I drain all the water from the pan and then add the margarine and brown sugar. I sometimes half the brown sugar with Splenda to save calories.

I have used this recipe for both fresh peaches and fresh strawberries. My only complaint is that it gets a little icy, even after churning. Maybe that comes from too much liquid in the recipe? I have halved the recipe both times, as my ice cream canister does not hold that much liquid. Leaving it to chill overnight has been a great third step to the simple first two. I have also made the some changes to reduce fat and calories, but the taste still remains awesome. For my halved recipe, I use: 3 eggs, 1.5 cups white sugar, 2.25-2.5 cups of fresh fruit, 1 cup heavy cream, 1.5 cups half and half, .5 cup skim milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract and .25 tsp salt. After I puree the fruits and mix the other ingredients in a seperate bowl, I pour all into the blender to get a great concoction before pouring into the canister. GREAT recipe!

This is a great base recipe! I add other veggies before adding cheese. Green and red peppers are normally my base veggies, instead of onions. I also add red pepper flakes while cooking the chicken to kick up the heat. Lastly I add some fake/real bacon (whatever I have on hand) to add some extra flavor.
