More strawberries...

This time, it's ice cream. In the past week I've had fresh strawberries straight from the bowl, strawberries and cream, strawberry shortcake, shortbread topped with strawberry slices and a lemon glaze, and tonight I'm making....

Strawberry Ice Cream

1 1/4c half and half
1/8tsp salt
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
3/4c sugar
3c strawberries, quartered
1 tbs fresh lemon juice

1) Warm the half and half and salt.

2) Whisk together the eggs and 1/2 c sugar, then drizzle into warm milk. Stir continuously with a spatula over a low heat until it is slightly thickened. Be careful not to burn or bring to a boil.

3) Strain your custard mix into a chilled bowl, and refrigerate for 2 hours to 1 day.

4) While custard is chilling, puree strawberries with lemon juice and remaining sugar and stir into chilled custard

5) Add to ice cream maker and mix until ready.

Enjoy!
