Strawberry Season is in full swing, and we're celebrating in our favorite way: with strawberry-forward recipes for our recipe corner!

It's been so 🥵 hot 🥵 lately that we're looking for a cool treat this week, so we've settled on our recipe for 🍨Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream🍨! This one is a bit more time-consuming, but definitely worth the effort! The best part, as usual, is that you can several ingredients for this delicious treat right here at the market on Saturday between 8am-12pm!

Here's what you'll want to have these on hand for this recipe:
🍓Strawberries (2 lbs, hulled and halved) - check out Barnes Farms & Produce LLC, McLean Farms Nursery & Ice Cream Shop, and Sweet Peas Urban Gardens for fresh, sweet strawberries this weekend!

🍯honey (2 Tbsp) - check out The Elderberry Lady, LLC, Ithíka Acres Creamery, and King Cobra Apiary Honey for local honey!

Vanilla extract

Sweetened Condensed Milk

🥛Heavy Whipping Cream

Note: You don't need an ice cream maker for this, but if you have one, it will cut down on your freezing time!

Stop by the info tent on Saturday to pick up your recipe card, and don't forget to grab your strawberries while you're at the market on Saturday from 8am-12pm!
