We made this for our 4th of July celebration. Excellent quality, consistency and taste. Our friends agreed. Followed the receipe except that we used strawberries that we had frozen from our garden and had left them partially frozen (they could be mashed a little prior to adding) as we added to the mix. They were a nice level of firm frozen as we enjoyed our dessert. Also, we recommend the White Mountain ice cream freezer.

In 1846, New Jerseyite Nancy Johnson invented the hand-cranked ice cream maker. Ever since, Americans have been celebrating summer with this chilly confection—we like ours with strawberries.
1 1⁄2 cups whole milk
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
3⁄4 cup plus 1⁄3 cup sugar
1 1⁄4 cup heavy cream
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
Juice of 1⁄2 lemon
1. Place milk in the top of a double boiler and bring just to a simmer over gently boiling water over medium heat.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and 3/4 cup sugar in a mixing bowl. Lightly whisk 1/4 cup of the hot milk into egg mixture, then whisk egg mixture into remaining milk in top of double boiler. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat back of a spoon, about 15 minutes.
3. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl; stir in heavy cream; refrigerate until cold.
4. Combine strawberries, 1/3 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
5. Slightly mash strawberries, then stir into cream base and pour into an ice cream maker. Process according to manufacturer's directions.
