Strawberries Romanoff

3 to 4 cups strawberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup good quality vanilla ice cream
3 to 4 tablespoons Cointreau, or orange juice

Wash and hull strawberries; halve large berries. Sprinkle with the sugar and chill thoroughly in refrigerator. Just before serving, beat cream until stiff. Beat ice cream until fluffy; fold ice cream into whipped cream.

Add Cointreau, blending until smooth. Arrange strawberries in serving dishes and spoon cream mixture over them. Or, save a few berries for garnish and combine cream mixture with remaining berries. Serve with a garnish of strawberry slices and mint, if desired.
Strawberries Romanoff serves 6.

Fresh Strawberry Sorbet

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 pints fresh ripe strawberries
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 to 3 tablespoons vodka

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand approximately 10 minutes.

Lightly rinse and dry the strawberries; hull and cut in halves. In a food processor or blender, puree the strawberries with 1/4 cup of the sugar syrup.

Add lemon juice, vodka, and pureed strawberries to the remaining sugar syrup; stir until thoroughly blended.

NOTE: The vodka (or any other type of alcohol) is the secret to a soft sorbet. Alcohol itself does not freeze and adding a little bit keeps the sorbet from doing the same. Vodka is excellent to use because it doesn't affect the taste.

Ice Cream Maker - Transfer mixture to ice cream maker, process according to manufacturer's instructions.

Freezer Method - Pour into container, cover, and place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover and refreeze until serving time.
