Strawberry Ice Cream

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup 2% milk
2 cups strawberries
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon Madagascar vanilla extract

1: Combine strawberries, 1/3 cup of sugar, and lime juice.  Stir gently and let macerate for 2 hours.
2: Whisk together milk and remaining sugar.
3: Stir in heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, plus juice from the strawberries.
4: Turn on ice cream machine and pour in the liquid mixture.
5: Run machine until mixture thickens (about 25 to 30 minutes).
6: Add strawberries during the last 5 minutes.

We got a discount on a lot of fresh strawberries from the local farmer's market and needed to do something with them before they went bad.  I froze some of them, we made breakfast smoothies with some, and the remainder was used for this ice cream.

Used lime juice even though most recipes call for lemon juice.  This was because we didn't have any lemons or lemon juice and figured this was close enough.

Also used 2% milk instead of the standard whole milk.  Again, this was all we had in the house.  It was unusual for us to have heavy whipping cream available but luck was with us.

We quartered the strawberries but this was still too large for the ice cream.  Next time we'll cut them a little smaller.
