STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

This is quintessential spring ice cream: the first strawberries of the season, and a base you don't have to pre-cook. I followed this recipe for it's simplicity, omitting the lemon zest because I'm lazy, but blending the base a little before churning it because I'm not consistently lazy, and I wanted to minimize chunkage.

(This is quintessential fall ice cream, and this is quintessential winter ice cream. Yes, WINTER ICE CREAM. I wonder what quintessential summer ice cream is? Right now I'm thinking something full of stone fruit and booze. Bourbon-soaked peaches maybe?)
