Strawberry Ice Cream

I have frozen summer.  Yes, that's right, I froze summer...well, the flavors of summer.  I froze the strawberries I grew for future use.  So I decided on this cool, fall day, to bring back the flavor of a warm sunny day by making ice cream.  This recipe is easy and makes use of frozen berries
Whether you freeze your own or buy them in the store, frozen berries work well to make this delicious ice cream.

Ingredients:

2 cups frozen whole strawberries
3/4 cup whole or 2% milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
