STRAWBERRY GELATO (ITALIAN STYLE)
This recipe is very close to a true Italian gelato. Gelato is more dense than American ice cream because the churning and freezing process differs from the one used for ice cream. Most electric ice cream machines will produce a very good gelato. This recipe requires about 1 to 2 hours refrigeration time to chill the cooked base before processing in your machine. Cook time = the cooking time for the custard base. The freezing/processing time for your ice cream machine is not included in the Prep/Cook times below.

WINTER STRAWBERRY GELATO
I'm calling this "winter" strawberry gelato only because I'm making it with frozen organic strawberries. You can use sweet, fresh strawberries when they're in season. The recipe is inspired by Sherry Yard, a pastry chef who taught me that you can make perfectly wonderful ice cream with no cream and no eggs. I make this one with 2 percent milk, but you could use whole milk. If you're thinking of using skim milk, substitute water and make sorbet.

Steps:
- Place a 1-quart container and one smaller container - for any extra gelato - in the freezer. Combine the strawberries, sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the strawberries thaw and become very soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, and transfer half the mixture to a blender. Since the mixture is hot, just cover the top of the blender jar with a dish towel pulled down tight. Blend until smooth, and then add half the milk. Blend again until smooth. Repeat with the remaining strawberries and milk. Transfer to a bowl, and chill in the refrigerator.
- Stir in the lemon juice and salt, and transfer to the container of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Scrape into the chilled container, and return to the freezer for at least two hours before serving. If frozen solid, allow to soften in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- For panna cotta:
- Pour 2 tablespoons water into small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water. Let stand until softened, about 15 minutes. Whisk 1 cup cream, yogurt, and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Heat remaining 1 cup cream and 1/2 cup sugar in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and cream comes to simmer. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture, stirring to dissolve gelatin. Mix hot cream-gelatin mixture into yogurt mixture in bowl. Divide mixture among six 3/4-cup ramekins, using about 1/2 cup for each. Refrigerate desserts uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
- For strawberries:
- Toss strawberries, vinegar, sugar, and pepper in large bowl to combine. Let stand 30 minutes, tossing occasionally. Spoon strawberries over panna cotta and serve.
Tips:
- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a gelato maker, you can still make this recipe. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
- For a richer gelato, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the mixture for a brighter flavor.
- Garnish the gelato with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings before serving.
