I got a vat of strawberries on Saturday during our jaunt to Costco and decided to turn half into this great gelato that i saw in cooking light! Hubby had an ice cream maker and it’s been simply moved between houses since we met. So we had a go at it! This recipe produces ALOT! We had to do 2 batches, which meant, one last night and one this morning! Absolutely delicious!
