Ingredients

1 pound cleaned strawberries (fresh or frozen)

1 cup sugar

1 1/4 cups water

1 1/2 pounds ice

1 pound rock salt

Preparation

  1. In a blender, combine the strawberries, sugar and water. Blend the ingredients until smooth.

  2. Place the strawberry mixture in a small metal bowl over a larger bowl containing the ice and salt and whip with a hand whisk for about 10 minutes to lighten the texture, or to desired consistency.

  3. Freeze the gelato base for about 11/2 hours before serving.
