In large bowl, beat eggs. Add sugar gradually, stirring constantly. Add salt, vanilla and canned milk. Add about a point of the freah milk and mix.

Pour mixture into ice cream freezer can. Add enough of the remainder of the milk to fill can to the middle of the top board of dasher. (if the freezer can has a fill line on it, fill no higher than that line.)

Assemble the ice cream freezer - add alternating layers of chipped ice and rock salt to barrel around can. Crank freezer until ice cream begins to freeze (cranking will become harder as ice cream freezes), adding more ice and salt, as needed. When handle becomes difficult to impossible to turn, remove turning mechanism, and carefully remove top from freezer can; remove dasher. Replace top. Cover can with more ice and solt. Cover ice with an old towel, allowing ice cream to cure for at least 1 hour. (This is an essential step)

Makes about 5 quarts
