BLACKBERRY ICE CREAM RECIPE

Blackberry Ice Cream is a wonderful tasting ice cream recipe. My grand children and family always like coming to my place as I always have ice cream made in the freezer and they love all the different flavours I have made. Their favourite is still the Blackberry Ice Cream and I always tell my grand children they are having their vitamin C when they are eating it.

Blackberry Ice Cream Method

The fist thing to do is get your colander ready by lining it with two layers of dampened cheesecloth and then set it over a large bowl. Combine the berries and water in medium saucepan and slowly bring them to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently until they are soft about 10 minutes. Pour into cheesecloth lined strainer and let stand until juice has drained into bowl about 30 minutes. Gently squeeze pulp to extract remaining juice.
Measure berry juice into heavy medium saucepan and add 1 cup sugar for each cup juice. Cook over low heat swirling pan occasionally until sugar dissolves then increase the heat and boil syrup for 2 minutes longer. Cool completely. Mix 2 1/2 cups of the syrup with the cream.
