Ingredients

1 10-ounce package frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed
2 12-ounce baskets strawberries, hulled, quartered
5 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened

    Stir 1/2 cup syrup mixture into ice cream; freeze 1 hour to 4 hours. Mix remaining strawberries into remaining syrup; chill 1 hour to 4 hours. Let ice cream soften slightly before serving.
