Fruit Ice Cream

This is a great recipe and it is very healthy!

Mix: 2 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 pint whipping cream(1 cup)
4 c. milk(I usually use skim)
1 can evaporated milk
Beat all together, then add juice from 3 lemons and 3 oranges
(Yes, it is still great with lemon juice concentrate and regular oj. I usually do about 1/3 c. lemon juice and 2/3 c. oj)

This is the great part, choose your combo of fruit and add. Usually about4 cups of fruit.

My favorite is raspberry(a bag, unfrozen), peach( a couple), banana(1 or 2)
Strawberry peach is awesome.
When using strawberries, puree(chunky), otherwise it will taste like plain ice cream with frozen chunks of berries. Mix and match and be creative.

Freeze in an ice cream maker.

Strawberry Buttermilk Gelato

This is another Cooking Light recipe (I know, I love Cooking Light:)). We tried it yesterday and it was delicious...so, run out and get some strawberries before it's too late and give it a try. *If you don't have an ice cream freezer, come borrow mine!

Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
5 cups quartered strawberries (about 4 pints)
2 cups low-fat buttermilk

Preparation:
Combine sugar and water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour into a large bowl; cool completely.
Place strawberries in a blender, and process until smooth. Add strawberry purée and buttermilk to sugar syrup; stir to combine.
Pour the strawberry mixture into the freezer can of an ice-cream freezer, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Yield
8 cups (serving size: 1/2 cup)
