Janet, I don't know if there are a lot, but I have made sugar free or low sugar ice cream for Dad, his favorite was a brown sugar pecan made with brown sugar Splenda, although that's really part brown sugar, it's not sugar free. In addition, because he was diabetic, the fat content in ice cream was pretty high. I did make frozen yogurt for him out of my homemade low fat yogurt, some artificial sweetener and whatever fruit I had on hand that was good, I pureed that, mixed everything together and put it in the ice cream machine. It tasted really good but it froze really hard, it had to sit for a minute out of the freezer before it could be scooped. Anyway, here's the brown pecan recipe, adapted from a recipe I got here, I hope someone claims it because I got it before I knew enough to put a name with everything. Brown Sugar Pecan Ice Cream ============================ 1 cup milk 1 scant packed cup brown sugar 4 egg yolks 3 cups heavy cream 1 cup pecan pieces . Heat the cream. milk and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot. place the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk briefly. Still whisking, slowly pour in about 1 cup of the hot liquid. When the mixture is blended, slowly pour it into the liquid in the saucepan, whisking constantly. Cook over heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. Be sure not let the mixture boil at any time or will curdle. strain into a clean bowl and cool thoroughly. Stir in the nuts. Pour the mixture into the bowl of the machine and freeze. Makes 5 cups.

It was advertised here too, but the local paper published this "warning" on the front page today... Clerk: Voting promotions violate law By PATRICK O'BRIEN Staff writer Businesses which offer specials for going to the polls face prison, fines COEUR d'ALENE -- Buyers and businesses beware: It's a violation of federal law to offer or accept any sales or promotions for voters on Election Day. Kootenai County Clerk Dan English said that regardless of party affiliations, businesses cannot offer discounts on products or service to encourage the general public to get out and vote. "As the county clerk, we work hard to try to turn out the voters," he said. "I appreciate their spirit, and their motivations, but unfortunately that is just a specific thing they can't do." The law came to English's attention when a handful of local businesses advertised sales planned Tuesday for people who came in with "I voted" stickers. English said he spoke with the various companies and said that all wanted to comply with the statutes and make sure that no laws had been violated. English said the promotional encouragement from businesses comes up almost every election year. In the past, espresso stands have unintentionally advertised free -- but unlawful -- coffee to people displaying the "I voted" stickers. "Even though it's not directly connected to a candidate or something, I think the reason it's probably there, is because it's on the continuum of trying to buy somebody's vote and so they just don't allow anything being given for the act of voting," English said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy Cook referenced U.S. Code Title 18 section 597. Under the title anyone offering or making an expenditure to any person to either vote or withhold his or her vote or to vote for or against a specific candidate can be imprisoned for up to one year and fined up to $250,000. "In the broad spectrum of voting, I guess we have to be more careful," Cook said. Anyone soliciting, accepting or receiving the expenditures could face similar penalties. In the event that the violations were carried out willfully, imprisonment can be increased to a maximum of two years. "Under most instances, they are helping individuals to do their civic duty," said Cook, who mentioned she had never had to prosecute such an occurrence." So I guess I won't be getting free coffee. LOL
