The Country Music Association revealed the first round of performers for the 2022 CMA Awards, less than two weeks before the Nov. 9 ceremony, and they include Miranda Lambert, Kelsea Ballerini, Carrie Underwood, Morgan Wallen, and Lainey Wilson. An all-star homage to the late Loretta Lynn will kick off the show. Carly Pearce, the Zac Brown Band, Jimmie Allen, Kelly Clarkson, Hardy, and the show’s co-host Luke Bryan have all been confirmed as performers.

The 56th CMA Awards

At 8 p.m., ABC will broadcast the 56th iteration of the show. Peyton Manning, a legendary player in the game of football, and Luke Bryan will start the performance on Nov. 9 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

The CMA Awards also revealed the songs for this first round of performers, many of which had collaborations that had their roots in more recent releases. For instance, Ballerini will perform “You’re Drunk, Go Home”, a female anthem from her most recent album, with Pearce and Clarkson, two other musicians who worked as a trio with her on the song. Wilson and Hardy will perform their current duet, “Wait in the Car.”

Even King Will Be There!

King, a blues singer-guitarist, will perform with the Brown Band live alongside Allen, the current CMA new artist of the year, on their song “Out in the Middle,” as he does on their album. Among the solo performances is Lambert’s interpretation of “Geraldene,” Underwood’s rendition of “Hate My Heart,” Wallen’s appearance on stage with his hit song “You Proof,” and Bryan’s live performance of “Country On.” In the 15 days leading up to the performance, further performances are expected to be announced.

Wilson, who had the most CMA Awards nominations this year, with six, is followed by Pearce, Ashley McBryde, Chris Stapleton, and songwriter/producer Shane McAnally, who each received five. Cody Johnson, writer-producer Josh Osbourne, Underwood, Luke Combs, Hardy, and Midland are all triple-nominated, while Cody Johnson and Josh Osbourne each have four nominations coming into the show. The competitors for the top entertainer of the year title are Lambert, Underwood, Stapleton, first-time nominee Wallen and last year’s winner, Combs.

Making ice cream from scratch is a project that lets people be creative with their favorite mixes. While making ice cream at home may sound difficult, it’s much easier than it seems, and the results are truly delicious. Homemade ice cream can be made using simple ingredients and without fillers, emulsifiers, preservatives, thickeners, or stabilizers. The best part is that a variety of mixes can be used for the base of the ice cream.

Great Ice Cream Can Be Made at Home and With Simple Ingredients

The base for the ice cream is probably the most important part of the process. It turns into the popular frozen dessert and is made with milk or water and sugar, cream, and whole or egg yolks should be added. There are many other bases to experiment with, ranging from ones that are fuss-free to others that require more attention to detail. Despite that, every ice cream base is incredibly simple to make.

The Are Many Types of Ice Cream That Can Be Made at Home

Custard-based ice cream is the most common one. It is a French-style ice cream and egg custard with a good amount of heavy cream that is perfect for it. Still, this base requires a little more attention. Another way to prepare ice cream with less concern over the base is to make a Philadelphia-style ice cream, known as American-style ice cream. The base is made with cream, milk, or a combination of both but does not include eggs.

To make traditional homemade ice cream using any method, an enthusiast should use an ice cream maker. Churning ice cream prevents it from forming big ice crystals and clumping them together. Small ice crystals allow for a smoother texture in the finished product. But, ice cream can be made without a machine! The no-churn options include shaking up heavy cream, sugar, and mixes in a jar or whipping up a sweetened condensed heavy cream base with fruit.

A Simple Ice Cream Recipe Can Be Used as a Basis for Custom Flavors

A basic ice cream recipe can be just as great as a complex one. Enthusiasts can use a simple recipe to experiment with flavors and mixes and make themselves a custom version. So, how can simple ice cream be prepared? First, an ice bath in a large bowl should be made ready with a fine mesh sieve over the bowl. Milk, cream, half the sugar, and vanilla should be prepared in a large saucepan. It should be brought to a gentle simmer with occasional stirring until the sugar is dissolved. The milk should not boil before it is removed from heat.

The egg yolk should be beaten with a pinch of salt, and the rest of the sugar should be placed in a large bowl until it is well combined and the mixture lightens in color. Half the hot milk should be gradually whisked into the egg yolk mixture to warm the eggs. That will help to keep the eggs from curdling when it is returned to the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. The custard should be cooked over medium, with stirring throughout, and until it is thickened and the custard coats the back of a wooden spoon. After the custard is left to cool for about 20 minutes, it should be made up one day ahead and stored in a refrigerator. Everything should be put into an ice cream maker until the base has thickened. Then, it should be transferred to an airtight container and frozen until firm.
