Fresh Picked Strawberry Ice Cream (Electric Ice Cream Machine)

Although this is a wonderful ice cream recipe (IMHO), it is an old one, and contains raw egg. Please feel free to use a fresh egg substitute or pasteurized eggs in this recipe. You may leave out the egg altogether, but the texture may suffer. The "Cook time" is for the processing time of my (your) ice cream machine. The 1/2 to 1 hour "chill time" was not included in the Prep/Cook time.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Yields: 1 Quart (approx)

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups  pureed fresh strawberries (If using frozen sliced strawberries in sugar or syrup, decrease or omit sugar in recipe.)
• 1⁄2 cup half-and-half
• 1⁄2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1  egg (or equivalent amount of "egg substitute")

Directions

1. Puree all ingredients in a blender (if you want larger chunks of strawberries, only process 2/3 the amount in the blender, adding the remainder of sliced/diced strawberries to the mixture after blending).
2. Chill mixture for 1/2 to 1 hour until cold.
3. Process according to the freezing instructions for your ice cream machine.
