Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream


Serves: 10
Prep: 10 min
At least 4 hr

Planning Tip:
May be frozen up to 1 week. If you have an ice cream machine, you can freeze part or all of the mixture (depending on capacity of machine's container), following manufacturer's directions.

16 oz ripe strawberries, hulled and halved (4 cups)
2 Tbsp light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups (1 pt) heavy (whipping) cream

1. Mash strawberries with corn syrup in a medium bowl. (You should have 2 2/3 cups.) Add buttermilk and sugar; stir until sugar dissolves.

2. Beat heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted. Gently fold in strawberry mixture. Pour into a shallow 2 1/2- to 3-qt metal bowl or pan.

3. Cover and freeze at least 4 hours, stirring once after 2 hours or when edges start to harden. Serve or spoon into an airtight container and freeze up to 1 week. Makes about 10 cups.

Per serving: 319 cal, 2g pro, 39 g car, 1 g fiber, 18 g fat (11 g saturated fat), 67 mg chol, 62 mg sod

Maine Woods Blueberry Pie


Serves: 8
Prep: 20 min
Bake: About 1 hr

Planning Tip: This is best the day it’s made, but it may be refrigerated up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature to serve.

1 box (15 oz) refrigerated ready-to-use pie crust, at room temperature
2 pt (12 oz each) fresh blueberries, rinsed and picked over (about 4 1/2 cups)
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup plus
1 Tbsp sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp cold butter or margarine, cut in pieces
Glaze: white of 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tbsp water

1. Place 1 oven rack in lowest position. Heat oven to 425°F. Have ready a 9-in. pie plate and a 1 1/2- to 2-in. star-shaped cookie cutter.

2. Line pie plate with 1 pie crust as box directs. Unfold second crust and lay on a lightly floured baking sheet. Place in freezer about 10 minutes (see Tip).

3. Meanwhile toss blueberries with lemon juice in a large bowl. Mix 1 cup sugar, the cornstarch and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add to berries and toss well to coat. Pour into lined pie plate; dot with butter.

4. With lightly floured star cutter, cut out a circle of 8 stars 3 in. from center of chilled pie crust; reserve stars.

5. Moisten rim of crust in pie plate with water. Center chilled crust over filling and press edges together. When top crust is at room temperature, tuck edges under bottom crust. Flute or crimp border decoratively.

6. Brush crust with Glaze. Arrange cutout stars on crust; brush with glaze, then sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp sugar. Cover loosely with foil.

7. Place pie on a sheet of foil (to catch drips) on lowest oven rack. Bake 15 minutes, uncover pie and bake 40 to 45 minutes more (shielding edges of pie with foil if browning too quickly) until crust is golden brown and filling bubbles. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or room temperature.

Per serving: 418 cal, 3 g pro, 66 g car, 2 g fiber, 16 g fat (7 g saturated fat), 18 mg chol, 294 mg sod

Gorgeous photo. You have a fantastic eye and so many pixels!

Timeout: I just love Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I watch that movie over and over and I have no idea why.

Apologies up. I just told BWB to hit the abuse button if she thought my post too much to view.

Although after viewing some "prime time" tellie with Mrs. lodwick, and the commercials there-in, soccer fans are wholesome indeed. imo

Bye, bye soccer lasses. Adios, chickies. ;-)

I LOVE blueberry pie, especially with Maine Wild Blueberries. But it is TOO DARN NOT to bake! That will have to wait until August when it starts cooling down up here!

Thanks C! I appreciate it.

I've seen LOTS worse (more) at your Oscar, Academy, Emmy and any other number of threads.

I thought SoccerFan(s) amusing, and not salacious. JL

Wow, it looks like all the women from Brazil are lactating at the same time. =) What is it about the culture down there? I have a good friend that lived down there for many years, is back in the states now, but ended up marrying a Brazilian woman.

We talked about meeting up in a few weeks but I'm too intimidated to go through with it. I don't want to be on the beach with a woman from Brazil.

I can't even fathom saying August and cool in the same sentence. Of course, I'm from Texas. =)

Think nothing of it. We know that you mean well and a Guilder would never turn you in. I thought it was funny. And trust me, I have seen far worse.

Here is what I am making for tomorrow: Santa Maria grilled tri-tip roast, freshly picked corn-on-the-cob, pasta salad, potato salad, watermelon/canteloupe/musk-melon/grape salad, lemonade, and yummy raspberry pineapple frappe. The Santa Maria tri-tip is a dry rub, it is really simple, but the best.

Santa Maria Tri-Tip roast

1 large boneless sirloin steak or tip roast (about 3 pounds)
1 teaspoon each salt and garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper (I use 1 tsp pepper, I like a lot of pepper)

Trim meat of excess fat and any membranes or stringy tendons. If using tip roast, butterfly it (cut across the grain almost through, then open like a book). Overall thickness should be 2 1/2 - 3 inches. Prepare dry marinade by mixing salt, garlic salt, pepper; rub into meat. Cover meat and place in the refrigerator overnight.

Thinner cuts grilled over hot fire may be medium-rare in 8-10 minutes a side; with a slower fire or thicker, larger piece of meat, allow 15-20 minutes per side.

Carve thin slices of meat on a cutting board with grooves to catch any juices. Transfer slices to a warm platter and moisten with juices. Serve immediately.

Yummy Raspberry Pineapple Frappe

1/2 gallon pineapple sherbet
1/2 gallon raspberry sherbet
2 cups raspberries (also good with boysenberries, marionberries)
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Let the sherbets and ice cream soften, mix together, and fold in berries. Freeze until firm. Serve as is, or you can pour Sprite or club soda over for a yummy frappe.
