Procedure

Rinse, stem, and halve large strawberries. Peel the stone fruits. Halve, pit, and chop larger specimens into 1/2-inch pieces.
Puree the fruit in a food processor along with the sugar, lemon juice, vodka, and salt. Pour into another vessel and refrigerate until the mixture reaches at least 40ºF, 4 to 6 hours.
Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until the mixture resembles soft-serve ice cream, 20 to 30 minutes. Freeze for at least 4 hours in an airtight container or until ready to serve
