Strawberry Ice Cream

I bought 6 quarts of strawberries at the farmer's market last Saturday, 1 quart of which was specifically for strawberry ice cream. I'm trying to make the most of all-too-short strawberry season and homemade ice cream is one of my favorite things in the world. This recipe couldn't be simpler, but is absolutely divine.

1 quart strawberries, hulled and sliced
3/4 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
2 c. heavy cream
1 c. whole milk

1. Combine strawberries, sugar, and vanilla in a food processor. Pulse 2 to 3 times, just until the fruit is crushed. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Add heavy cream and milk. Stir until sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze as directed.
