Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream

You are welcome to select your choice of chunky or smooth peanut butter. Or, your choice of grape, strawberry, or whatever flavor jelly you love! Make it your own! Don't forget to add the gelatin, however! The gelatin is used to offset the peanut butter to keep the ice cream from turning crumbly when hardening. Cooking time reflects cooling time.
