#58 Strawberry Ice Cream

To wrap up my strawberry theme I saved the best for last. Strawberry ice cream....mmmmm! My girls especially like strawberry ice cream...because it's pink!

Strawberry Ice Cream

1 1/2 cups fresh strawberry puree
3/4 cup whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
pinch salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1. I ran the berries through the food processor so that the strawberry pieces are small and the juice would color the ice cream a pretty pink color.

2. Add your whole milk, sugar and pinch of salt to a bowl and stir until sugar is dissolved.  Then add the puree and heavy cream. Mix well.

 

3. Cover and refrigerate your ice cream mixture for 1-2 hours. Then, follow the instructions for your ice cream maker. This recipe makes about 5 cups.

I did not take any pictures of the final product...probably because it was eaten too fast! It was a big hit! Very light, sweet and fruity ice cream.

Before I wrap up my strawberry theme I want to add a couple pictures of all the wonderful yummy strawberry foods I made out of the three flats of strawberries I picked during strawberry season...YUM! It will all be a welcome treat this winter.

I bagged some whole hulled strawberries to use for smoothies and also made strawberry freezer jam....that recipe is here! All that on top of the strawberry lemonade, strawberry slush, strawberry popsicles, and strawberry ice cream I made! So did I inspire you to get out and pick a few flats of strawberries next June?!! It's something to look forward to:)

Oh...if you do, make sure you get one of these....

 

 It will help you hull all those strawberries with minimal waste! Cost me a buck and was invaluable!
