Here's how i make LDL icecream:
1. Freeze some fruit (definitely freeze some very ripe bananas -- that's what's going to make your LDL icecream really creamy). You can freeze just about any fruit but always cut it up before freezing so you can break off chunks and pieces and toss those in your blender. So, for instance, if i have a bunch of ripe mangos, i sit down and cut the meat of the mango off the seed and scrape off the meat from the peel and then put that in a plastic bag and toss it in the freezer. When it is frozen you open the bag and take a knife and slice pieces of it off -- it will cut easily, don't worry. Another example would be strawberries...wash them, cut them at least in half and put them in a bag in the freezer. If you're freezing bananas, then take the peel off and put them (the bananas of course -- not the peels
) in plastic bag and freeze. You can easily cut or break off the amount you want to put in the blender. If i have ripe melon i cut the melon over a plate, scoop out the seeds and put them in a strainer over a bowl so i can collect all that sweet juice. Then i cut the meat off the rind of the melon and cut into chunks about 1-2 inches square. Put those in the bag along with the juice that the strained seeds have given up and freeze. When i want to use it the pieces break off with just a bit of prodding with a paring knife. LIke that... If you are doing pears, wash and cut the pear away from the stem and seeds and then cut into chunks and freeze in a plastic bag. Grapes are easy...just take off the stems and wash and towel dry a bit and put in a bag and freeze.2. Put some other juicy fruit in the fridge to get cold. Always use something that will make a lot of juice, like grapes or oranges, grapefruit, melons.
3. WHen your frozen fruit is VERY hard and your refrigerated fruit is VERY cold, then take your blender and put some of the cold refrigerated fruit in. Turn blender on and let the cold juicy fruit turn to pure juice. When you have this juice -- which is a bit thick, but not too thick, then take the various FROZEN fruits that you want to use and put those pieces in. Don't forget a frozen banana...it makes all the difference. blend this until it is very smooth. (i won't brag about my early model stainless steel vitamix).
4. When it's smooth, it will be verrrrry thick like icecream. if it's too juicy, then you know to put less juicy fruits in next time. If it's too thick and the motor of your blender sounds like it's going to have a heart attack, then stop it and squeeze another orange in there and try it again.
We like our's very very thick.. Then i put it in big bowls (probably holds a good pint and a half or so) and then i open some lychee nut fruit and put those in there (i don't remove the seeds -- heck, The General can do a little work for crying out loud!) and i also cut a very ripe and cold mango into the LDL icecream. Then i give it a little mix with the spoon and VOILA....Heaven on Earth! I told The General last night when i served our portions of LDL icecream, that if i could, i would marry myself!!
Just to give you an idea.....When i crunch the numbers it looks like i use about two cups of grapes, a cup of stawberries, one melon, meat of three mangos, two bananas, two oranges. That's enough LDL icecream for heaping servings for The General and me...so it's like a good fruit meal and no store bought juices are used.
Let me know if you need clarification.
God bless..

Better cheer myself up and head to the kitchen to make the real thing. If there are leftovers--






and take a sedative while you're at it!!
I'll be praying for you (and for Tina K's husband too) 
i'm not letting The General get within 5,000 miles of youuuuu!!!
