Strawberry and Apricot Ice Cream

"I came across this recipe while looking for something new to do with strawberries and thought it sounded delicious--combining my two of my favorite fruits. Prep time does not include letting ice cream cool and freeze (at least 8 hours). Cooking time includes processing time. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (July 1985)"

  1. This was an interesting combination of fruit. I had never thought of putting strawberries and apricots together in ice cream. The custard is super thick and the ice cream is so creamy! It is not overly sweet. I did use Spelnda instead of the sugar and no one would ever guess.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
