Successfully Strawberry

So I like ice cream. And by like I mean LOVE. I was tickled to death when Nick bought me an ice cream maker for my birthday last year. I immediately began making ice cream and searching for recipes. The recipes are hard to find. I don't like the ones that call for eggs. Something about it just doesn't sit well with me so I avoid those. Which leaves me very few choices. Of course the instruction manual that came with my ice cream maker had several recipes in it. I did find a mint chocolate chip that I absolutely adore! Nick wanted me to make him blueberry ice cream. He said when he was little he had gotten a blueberry milkshake from somewhere and he says it was to die for. He suggested I make a vanilla ice cream and add a can of blueberry pie filling. I did. He LOVED it. SCORE!!! I like strawberry ice cream and figured I could do the same thing and just add strawberry pie filling. I did. I HATED it. FAIL!!! So I made a peanut butter and a chocolate and a chocolate chip with red food coloring (that one was for Alyssa's birthday)  but I really wanted a strawberry. So I started with the vanilla ice cream base and instead of pie filling I added strawberries and strawberry syrup (same dang thing). Genius!! I used frozen strawberries instead of fresh because I'm lazy lol. Anywho, it turned out delicious. I am so pleased. So here is what it looks like:

Strawberry Ice Cream

1/4 granulated sugar
2 cups half and half
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup fresh/frozen chopped strawberries (I used my little veggie chopper)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup Hershey's Strawberry syrup

Pretty much just mix everything together in a bowl, stir really good then pour it into an ice cream maker. Voila!!!!
