Wild Strawberry Ice Cream

Wild Strawberry Ice CreamIce cream is the perfect treat to cool you off in the midst of summer. If you have the patience to gather a pound of wild strawberries (or know someone who does) this is a refreshing way to experience the immense flavour of this tiny fruit. Enjoy! Last year, I made these Wild Strawberry Tartlets.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (454g) wild strawberries • 2 cups heavy cream • 3/4 cup sugar • 1 oz gin or vodka
