I stole this recipe for Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream from alattefood.com. This homemade ice cream is a tasty summer treat! Strawberries are diced then mixed with honey, sugar and lemon juice. The strawberries are left to sit for about twenty minutes. Next the strawberry mixture is mashed and mixed with heavy cream, half-and-half and vanilla. The mixture is poured into an ice cream maker and churned. Then the ice is frozen for a few hours until thickened. This delicious ice cream is worth the wait and you can share it if you want.
