STRAWBERRY, RED WINE AND STAR ANISE ICECREAM image

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 Bottle of red wine such as raspberry or current wine.
1 large container of strawberries sliced.
½ cup of sugar or more to taste
2-3 star anise pods
1 batch of your favorite vanilla ice cream recipe for the base

Steps:

Make your vanilla ice cream base and keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the ice cream. Have the bowl to your ice cream maker sitting in the freezer over night. To make the strawberry swirl Put the red wine, strawberries, sugar and star anise pods in a non reactive sauce pan and simmer until the strawberries have totally broken down and the red wine has turned into a syrup. Cool this mixture completely. Pour the vanilla base into the ice cream maker and follow the directions on your icecream maker for freezing. When the ice cream is mostly solid pour in the strawberry ripple. Pour the ice cream into a container and finish freezing it solid in the freezer.
