   3      c             Strawberries -- cut up
   6      c             Milk
   1 1/3  c             Sugar
  12                    Egg yolks -- beaten
   2      dr            Red food coloring -- up to 3 dr,
                        - (optional)

Place berries in a blender container or food processor bowl, cover,
and blend or process until nearly smooth.

In a large saucepan combine 3 cups of the milk, the sugar, and egg
yolks. Cook and stir over medium heat till mixture coats a spoon. Dip
a spoon into the custard and draw a line with your finger through the
coating. The custard is done when the edges along the line keep their
shape. Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining milk, the berries, and
food coloring, if desired.

Cover surface of gelato mixture with plastic wrap. Refrigerate
several hours or overnight until chilled. Or, place the saucepan in a
sink of ice water to chill quickly. Freeze in a 4 or 5 qt ice cream
freezer according to manufacturers directions. Ripen for 4 hours.
