hot time with iced creamy strawberries

Yesterday I got some wonderful organic strawberries from the market. It's so hot, that I decided to make ice cream. I started by making a strawberry jam.

I stirred for 20 minutes on medium heat a pint of chopped strawberries and 1/4 cup of sugar, and a splash of meyer lemon juice (Thanks Dave!). In a different pot, I simmered 2 cups of heavy cream along with 2 cup of milk and a pinch of salt. I combined the two in an ice bath and once it cooled I placed in the fridge.
Today I put my strawberry mixture in the ice cream maker Jimmy and Greg got us for Christmas. The flavor was delicate and not too sweet, the texture uber creamy.


It's so hot right now, I just want to bathe in it!
