strawminty ice cream

I haven't tried this yet, but I've found a couple of recipes that I want to combine to make a delicately minty strawberry ice cream.

2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 5 cups)
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups light cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large handful of mint

Soak the mint leaves in the cream and rest in the fridge overnight.

In a large bowl stir together strawberries and sugar until combined well. Chill mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, overnight.

Drain strawberry mixture in a sieve set over a bowl and reserve 2 cups strawberry slices. In a food processor purée remaining slices with strained liquid until smooth and transfer to a bowl. Stir in cream and vanilla extract until combined well.

Freeze mixture in an ice-cream maker for 25 minutes. During this time, place remaining strawberries in the freezer. After 25 minutes, add reserved strawberry slices for the last 5 minutes of freezing time.
