Has anyone tried this recipe?

We've been doing this for years, but I was talking to a guy the other day who'd never made any. And I know a lot of people who just buy the premade ones. The online reviews seem to be great. Do any of you have any special tips or tweaks?

I'm glad you found this recipe...I've been buying mine for the last couple of years, because when my grandmother passed away, the family recipe died with her.

I can't wait to tell the rest of the family!!

From scratch is so much better than the dry box mixes.

My nephews when they were 10 asked me what those funny looking trays were for.

Anyone remember the lever-action aluminum trays? Most folk under 50 have probably only seen the plastic twist type.

We have 3 of them...we found them in the cabinet when we moved in. I remember mom using that style when I was a kid, and I'm 40.

Unless they spent their summers in the woods of Maine, 10-15 years behind the rest of the civilized world (guilty).

If they worked right, they had a nice positive action, and you actually felt like you were doing something.

Heck, in Maine, you might have even pumped your water by hand.

Oh, absolutely! Far more satisfying than twisting a plastic tray (or just going to the icemaker on the freezer).

We had running water, but when I was in my early teens we still had an outhouse for late-fall/early-winter weekends since the camp had been winterized by that point. Needless to say one kerosene heater wasn't quite enough for...comfort. At those temps, any draft is "invigorating"!

Frightened turtle comes to mind.
