In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine the milk and
granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 – 2 minutes on low
speed. Stir in the heavy cream plus any accumulated juices from the
strawberries and vanilla. Turn the machine ON, pour mixture into freezer
bowl through ingredient spout and let mix until thickened, about 25 – 30
minutes. Add the sliced strawberries during the last 5 minutes of freezing.
Note: this ice cream will have a “natural” appearance of very pale pink; if
a deeper pink is desired, sparingly add drops of red food coloring until
desired color is achieved.

FRESH LEMON SORBET
Preparation: 10 minutes + cooling time, 25 – 30 minutes chilling time; optional 2
hours to “ripen” in freezer.
Makes eight 1/2-cup servings.
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1-1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice

Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil
over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer without stirring
until the sugar dissolves, about 3 – 5 minutes. Cool completely. This is
called a simple syrup, and may be made ahead in larger quantities to
have on hand for making fresh lemon sorbet. Keep refrigerated until
ready to use.
