Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 1/4 cup pure cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown rice syrup (can use non-gmo corn syrup or Lyle’s syrup - I do)
  • 2 tablespoons filtered water
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (I use full fat)
  • 1/4 cup freeze dried strawberries chopped

Instructions

  • Hull the strawberries I fresh. Rinse and part dry. See below if using frozen.
  • Add sugar, syrup, water and salt in a 2 quart non-reactive pot. Bring to a boil, stirring. Add strawberries, stir and reduce to a simmer.
  • Cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool 5 minutes. Add lemon juice (optional.) For Frozen Strawberries: Add them frozen to the pot, bring to a simmer and cover, cook 5 minutes until mostly defrosted, add lemon juice if using, cool 5 minutes.
  • Add the strawberry mixture to the carafe of a blender. Purée smooth from low speed to high – one minute. Add the buttermilk (will cool down the mixture) and blend one minute. Add the yogurt and blend one minute – scrape down the carafe as needed.
  • Add the yogurt mixture to a large bowl, cover an refrigerate until cold – 4 hours to overnight.
  • Process the yogurt in a ice cream machine. Add the freeze dried strawberries just before removing from the machine. (I made the yogurt in 2 batches in my ice cream machine.)
    Makes 3 pints; store in freezer.
