Kitchen Ade: Strawberry Ice Cream

Kitchen Ade: Strawberry Ice Cream

2 cups whole strawberries, rinsed and hulled*

2 tablespoons sugar

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 small (5-ounce) can evaporated milk

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup milk

 

Mash strawberries with sugar to make a pulp, set aside. Whisk the remaining ingredients in a 2-quart pitcher until well blended; stir in strawberry pulp, mixing until well combined. Cover and chill for several hours. (The colder the mixer, the better it will set up when processed.) Pour mixture into the canister of an ice-cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. Spoon mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 hours, or until desired firmness is reached. Makes about 2 quarts. *Kitchen Ade Note: 2 cups whole strawberries, will yield about 1 cup strawberry purée.

Minister’s Message: Connecting meaningfully with God

What is church, and how is the body of Christ to be lived out?

This is the most famous photograph of Steve Melchior, as a copy of it resides in the Anchorage Museum of History and Art. The Melchior family owns a very similar photograph, with a note in pencil from Steve Melchior on the back. The note, written for family members back in Germany in the late 1920s when Melchior was suffering from rheumatism, says, “That is the only way I can get out because my legs won’t walk anymore. I don’t like driving a car, and the dogs take me wherever I want to go. The one in the front is called Bill (in German, Wilhelm), and the one on the left is called Waldman. The black one on the right is called Nick or Nikolaus. Three good, loyal workers, my bodyguard.”
