Hip hip hooray! It’s strawberry season! And there’s nothing better than fresh, sweet, local strawberries.
Our youngest daughter agrees and went strawberry picking a few days ago with some friends and she brought back 3 gallons of fresh strawberries.
After making strawberry preserves, strawberry cake, strawberry shortcake (do I sound a little like Forrest Gump?), and just eating lots of them raw, I still had lots of the sweet berries leftover.
Since everyone in our home loves strawberries and it’s been really hot here recently, I decided to make a batch of strawberry ice cream with some of them and my oh my, am I ever glad I did. It’s heavenly! And I’m sharing the simple recipe with you here today!
It’s an old-fashioned, rich & creamy, delicious version. Perfect for a warm afternoon snack or dessert! And the whole family loves it.
