     This Old Fashioned Strawberry Ice Cream has a creamy soft consistency with a nice sweet fresh strawberry flavor and just a hint of vanilla in the backdrop.

    June 21, the summer solstice, longest day of the year. In ancient times pagans believed that on this day the sun stood still and daylight dominated the night, hence it being the longest day of the year. It is the beginning of summer, hot days, cool pools, nice strolls in the evenings. Crackling of wood burning in fire pits and the smell of smoke in the air. Ahhhhhhhhhhh summer, going to lakes, seas, oceans, beaches, car trips to the mountains, summer vacation, these are the songs of summer. The sounds of bells ringing and  organ grinder music in the back ground, THE ICE CREAM MAN IS COMING!!!!!!!!, running like sugar crazed kids, change clenched in our fists, and the dilemma of the decision of what to get.

     

     

    Yes, ice cream, that oh so soothing cold treat relieving the heat from the sun and not to mention the great flavor and taste. Creamy richness melting in your mouth flavors endless crispy sugar cones or the minimalist mantra in a cup, either way delectable. Today being Father's day and honoring my father who is the ice cream monster. I cannot remember a time that there wasn't any ice cream in the freezer. One of my father's favorites was the Neapolitan combined swirls of strawberry, chocolate and vanilla, always a possibility after supper sitting outside on the patio watching time go by and savoring every lick and bite of that ice cream cone.

    Well this is our first time at making home made ice cream. I received an ice cream maker (a Cuisinart) as a gift from my son's partner. It has been in storage and much procrastination has occurred due to the fear of even considering making home made ice cream. I have learned that fear is something you walk through, it can be a viable asset in many of life gifts and was absolutely a God send in this recipe Old Fashioned Strawberry Ice Cream. Fresh strawberries from the Old Strathcona Farmers Market and our own garden. Heavy cream from Sunworks farm at Mothers' Market downtown Edmonton. Creamy soft consistency with a nice sweet fresh strawberry flavor with just a hint of vanilla in the backdrop.

    Great on its own in a bowl, but equally as good with a sugar cone. We served it with some fresh strawberries and mint leaves on top.

    Happy Father's day!

    Enjoy!

      I have the same ice cream maker and will be making this recipe ASAP (or as soon as the fresh strawberries are available in NH). I bet yours was fantastic with the quality of ingredients you used. Hope you had a wonderful Father's Day Loreto 🙂

        Thank you Karrie. Fathers day was great thanks for asking. Yes the ice cream was so good and so easy to make just toss the ingredients in a bowl mix up and let chill in the fridge overnight. Then the ice cream maker does the rest, got to love that, and all we have to do is scoop it and eat it, wonderful. You were right about the ingredients, I believe the quality and the freshness of the ingredients combine with the passion and love of food is what makes a recipe.
        Have a great day!
