Merry Go Round - favourite recipe

It's time for another ride on the merry-go-round! Jump on and join a group of artists/crafts-women as they link around the world and tell you a little about their lives in art and craft.

This month's question that myself and 10 other women will answer is a little different from usual and not related to our art and craft - but another way for you to get to know us. This month we will be sharing " our favourite (easy) recipe."

I love cooking and baking - and as I have a newly remodeled kitchen (just finished this month!) I'm having a great time playing with my new aga oven. But no warm fuzzy comfort food recipes here.....

The recipe I'm going to share is for strawberry ice cream. I love making ice cream - lots of different flavours and this recipe is one of the easiest and one of the tastiest. I don't like store bought strawberry ice cream - never get it - but just love this one.


Ingredients:
1 lb (500g) ripe strawberries
1/2 pint (300 ml) double/whipping cream
4 oz (100g) caster (bakers) sugar
Juice of a lemon

All you do is mush/mash/puree the strawberries and then add the other ingredients. Stir and freeze either in an ice cream maker or in the freezer. If you do it in the freezer, after a few hours, take it out of the freezer and break up the ice cream with a fork a bit, then put it back in the freezer for a few more hours.

Yummy. You will love it. Couple of options - you can add balsamic vinegar (brings out the flavour of berries) and you can use other berries instead of strawberries -but try this version first and maybe you'll never try another!

Happy ice cream making. Hope you give it a try - or come round some time and I'll make you some.

Take a look at the recipes that the other artists on the merry go round have posted on their blogs today. We have three new artists (* below) joined us this month so get cooking! .......We'll all post either today or over the weekend so if you don't see their post - do check back later....as there is a big time difference between us all.
