STRAWBERRY ITALIAN ICE

Steps:
- Put a 9-or-10 inch metal cake pan in the freezer. In a blender blend the strawberries, the sugar, and the lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Add the ice cubes, blend the mixture until it is smooth, and pour it into the cold pan. Freeze the mixture for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is frozen around the edge but still soft in the center, stir the strawberry ice, mashing the frozen parts with a fork, and spoon it into 2 bowls.
Tips:
- Use frozen strawberries: Frozen strawberries are easier to blend and will give your Italian ice a smoother texture. If you're using fresh strawberries, freeze them for at least 2 hours before using.
- Add a little bit of lemon juice: Lemon juice will help to brighten the flavor of the strawberries and make your Italian ice more refreshing.
- Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help to break down the strawberries and ice more effectively, resulting in a smoother Italian ice.
- Don't over-blend: Over-blending the strawberries will make your Italian ice too slushy. Blend until the strawberries and ice are just combined.
- Chill the Italian ice before serving: Chilling the Italian ice for at least 2 hours before serving will help it to firm up and develop its flavor.
