Cut like a pie into 12 pieces and roll, beginning with the wide end. Place on a buttered cookie sheet with the small "tail" of the roll down on the sheet so it retains its shape. Let rise 4-5 hours.

Jennifer Crites: Grandma's ice cream is the best according to my children. We all love this strawberry one and even as much when it is made with raspberries!

Ingredients for 16 servings

• 2.25 cups sugar
• 4 cups pureed strawberries
• 1 cup milk
• 4 cups heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1.5 tsp almond flavoring
• .5 tsp salt

Steps

1. Reduce sugar to 1-3/4 cups if strawberries have been sweetened. Can use three 12 oz packages of frozen strawberries, thawed, in place of the fresh strawberries. Beat all ingredients together and pour into a gallon ice cream freezer and freeze as directed for the freezer you have. Variation: You can use other fruit in season in place of the strawberries. Peaches are exceptionally good.
