Strawberry ice cream

This is so easy as it doesn't require any cooking - so you can eat it not long after making it. Try to get a good variety of strawberry. Elsanta is ubiquitous but terrible; it's bred for yield and colour, but not for taste. Anything is better than Elsanta.

300g strawberries

100g caster sugar

50g icing sugar

1/4 tsp xantham gum

Juice of half a lemon

300ml double cream

1. Wash, hull and halve the strawberries.

2. Combine the strawberries, sugar, xantham gum and lemon juice in a measuring jug and blitz with a stick blender.

3. Stir in the cream.

4. Pour the creamy strawberry mixture into the ice cream machine and churn until frozen.
