1-1/3 cups sugar
1-1/3 cups water
1-1/2 lbs strawberries, cored and quartered
6 tablespoons corn syrup
6 tablespoons lemon juice
Combine water and sugar in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, without stirring, until sugar completely dissolves. Transfer syrup to a bowl and cool completely.
Place strawberries and lemon juice in food processor. Pulse 10-12 times to chop, then process until pureed. (This can also be done in a blender or with a food mill or even a hand masher.) Combine strawberry mixture, sugar syrup and corn syrup. Chill for at least a couple of hours, until very cold.
Freeze in ice cream freezer according to manufacturer's instructions. Makes a little more than 1-1/2 quarts.
