Strawberry and Apricot Ice Cream image

I came across this recipe while looking for something new to do with strawberries and thought it sounded delicious--combining my two of my favorite fruits. Prep time does not include letting ice cream cool and freeze (at least 8 hours). Cooking time includes processing time. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (July 1985)
