I've made a few batches of this recipe. The first was a single batch as per the recipe followed by the conserve.
The second batch I made strawberry fruity dream from the EDC instead of conserve. Because of the alcohol, the fruity dream leftovers are easy to remove from the freezer container but it is a little strong (certainly no good for children) so perhaps half fresh/half soak strawberries would work better.
My last lot made was a double batch (by now you can probably tell that I love the strawberry liqueur
) and once again froze the strawberries after they had done their job. I've now used them in this recipe I'd made before from Chookie (it's in topic 6628.0). I doubled the recipe and ended up with a 1.5 litre container full to the brim with some leftover that wouldn't fit into the ice-cream maker. You would think it would be quite scoopable with all those vodka soaked strawberries but it still is quite a firm ice-cream. I serve with a sprinkle of Strawberry liqueur.
