Recipe Review
andrew from Vancouver Island, BC
An excellent pairing of flavors. I never would have thought to use sour cream in ice cream, but it goes perfectly with strawberries. You chop and macerate the strawberries in their juices and 3/4 cup of sugar for an hour beforehand (he also recommends vodka or kirsch, but we had neither on hand), which apparently brings up the redness of the berries.
It makes an attractive ice cream, with that strawberry pink and chunks of frozen berries scattered throughout. And it tastes wonderful. We used the first local berries of the season, which were not quite perfect, but still pretty good, and they made great ice cream. I'm looking forward to trying this again when the really ripe berries are at the market.
