Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream

1 pint (about 1 1/2 cups) fresh strawberries, cut into pieces

3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 cup sugar, divided

1 cup milk

2 cups heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla

Instructions:

In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup sugar, strawberries, and lemon juice; gently stir.  Let strawberry mixture sit for 1 to 2 hours.

In a medium bowl, mix together milk and remaining sugar with a hand mixer, about 1 to 2 minutes.  Stir in heavy cream, vanilla, and juice from strawberries.

Pour mixture into the bowl of an ice cream mixer and turn on the machine.  In my ice cream mixer the ice cream took about 25 to 30 minutes to thicken.  In the last 5 minutes pour in strawberries.

Place ice cream in freezer about an hour before serving.
