The BEST Creamy Homemade Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream

This ice cream is creamy and full
of fresh & fruity strawberry flavor!


Ingredients:

6 cups fresh strawberries, washed, stwms removed & diced (about 2 pounds of berries)

1/2 cup honey

1 cup granulated sugar

4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

4 cups (1 quart) heavy cream

2 cups half & half

2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

ice 

rock salt

Method:

In a large bowl, stir together the strawberries, honey, sugar and lemon juice.

Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes. 

Use a potato masher to mash the strawberies, or pulse several times with an immersion blender. (Just until lightly mashed, but not pureed.)

Add the cream, half & half and extracts to the strawberry mixture. Stir just until combined.

Pour into an ice cream maker and follow the instructions for the machine.

Remove from the machine and transfer to an airtight container. Place in a freezer for a couple of hours and then serve. Makes 4 quarts.

Variation: If desired, add 2 cups of mini semi sweet chocolate chips to the mixture before processing in the ice cream maker.

This recipe is quick simple and requires no cooking. Yum!
