STRAWBERRY LIQUEUR

Steps:

• In a quart jar, add strawberries, 1 cup sugar, and vodka. (I use frozen berries as the freezing process breaks down the cell walls, allowing you to get more juice).
• Seal jar tightly, and place in a dry, dark place for about 2 weeks.
• After two weeks, strain the liquid using a double layer of cheese cloth. Gently squeeze the berries, getting as much juice from the berries as possible.
• In a fresh quart jar, add the second cup of sugar, glycerin, water to top and the strained liquid. Seal and store again in a dark place until sugar is dissolved.
• Once the sugar has all dissolved, bottle the resulting liqueur in a fresh bottle and let age for roughly 3 months.

GELATO ALLA FRAGOLA - STRAWBERRY GELATO

Steps:

• In a blender combine the strawberries, sugar and whole milk and puree until smooth.
• Add in the heavy cream and mix just enough to combine (you do not want to whip the cream). Add in the lemon juice. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Refrigerating overnight is best because it will allow the flavor to intensify.
• Transfer the mixture into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve at once with fresh cut strawberries, if desired, or freeze for up to one month.
• You can substitute the following fruits using the above recipe: Bananas, peaches, Pears, raspberries, blackberries, apricots, Granny Smith apples and blueberries.
