directions
Takes 20 minutes in the ice cream maker.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together strawberries, lime juice, sugar and water. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, cook stirring for 8 minutes. Keep a close eye to make sure it doesn’t boil over.
Use a hand blender to pulse strawberry mixture until smooth, around 30 seconds. Place mixture in a measuring cup and cool completely in the refrigerator. Mixture can be made up to 2 days in advance and kept in the fridge in an air tight container.
Once cooled, pour mixture into ice cream maker and mix for 20 minutes or until a soft serve consistency has been reached. In the last 5 minutes, pour in 4 oz of light rum, vodka or gin (optional).
Pour or spoon into 4 glasses, garnish with lime slices.
