Can I leave out the sherry?

Yes. The sherry adds aroma and a slightly softer texture, but the ice cream works without it too – optionally replaced with a little lemon juice.

Can I use fresh strawberries?

The original uses preserved strawberries for sweetness and colour; fresh strawberries can be used, but add a little more sugar.
