Method

Make something worth remembering.

Make the reduction

  1. Combine the strawberries and sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5–8 minutes.
  2. Mash the berries to a loose jam consistency. Stir in the salt and lemon juice, if using, then cool completely.

Churn

  1. Prepare and chill the Standard Creamy Ice Cream Base, then churn as directed.
  2. Add the cold strawberry reduction during the final minute of churning.

Finish

  1. Add small diced fresh strawberries during the final 30 seconds if desired, then freeze for 1–2 hours.
Family note

What makes this ours

Cooking the berries first concentrates their flavor and keeps extra water from turning the finished ice cream icy.
