Strawberry Ice Cream

This easy, quick recipe highlights all those farm fresh strawberries available locally at this time of the year. I love to serve this with a touch of Nana's Hot Fudge

3 cups fresh strawberries or your favorite super fresh, soft fruit
1 cup sugar divided

Instructions

Wash the strawberries
Mix the strawberries with a half cup of the sugar and let sit for at least 15 minutes
Blend the strawberries in a blender or mash with a fork until as smooth as you like
Add the blended strawberries, the other half cup of sugar and vanilla to the cream/milk mixture
Place the ice cream mixture into the frozen insert of an ice cream maker
Blend until cold and soft - typically about 30 minutes
Eat right away for soft serve or place in a container and freeze until set. Eat with all your favorite toppings (full disclosure - the ice cream went so fast, I didn't have time to take a picture in a bowl!)
