The Best Ever Strawberry Ice Cream
(Adapted from a few different recipes I've come across)
3 cups fresh ripe strawberries, stemmed and sliced
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 1/4 cups milk
2 3/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
In a small bowl, combine the strawberries with the lemon juice and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Stir gently and allow the strawberries to macerate in the juices for about 2 hours. Strain the berries, reserving juices. Mash or puree the berries (I used a food processor).
In a medium bowl, use a mixer on low speed to combine the milk and remaining granulated sugar (1 cup) until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. On low, mix in the heavy cream, reserved strawberry juice, mashed strawberries, and vanilla.
Transfer to ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a covered glass bowl and freeze immediately.
