No Cook Ice Cream: Strawberry

Can you tell what I've been doing a lot of lately? :)  This is a recipe that my parents actually told me about and I'm so glad they did.  It is smoother than the recipe that I make that came with my ice cream machine and just so yummy! (and easy)


No Cook Ice Cream:
*Recipe courtesy of www.foodnetwork.com Emeril Lagasse, 2000
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped (I don't use vanilla beans, I find they are normally hard to find and expensive.  I just used a splash of vanilla instead and it worked just as well.)
1/2 teaspoon salt (My mom told me when they made this recipe that it was a little salty so I used 1/4 teaspoon instead.)
6 to 8 strawberries, quartered
2 tablespoons strawberry or raspberry jam

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla bean seeds, salt, strawberries, and strawberry jam.  Mix well with a wooden spoon. Add to an ice cream machine and process according to the manufacturer's directions. 

Yields 4 servings. Unless you eat a bowl like my family and then maybe one or one and a half.  Enjoy!
