Blueberry Ice Cream

The wild blueberry season is coming to an end.  I've been out picking and I think I'll go one more time.  Maybe tonight.  I can most, I freeze some.  I make a lot of blueberry mufins and blueberry cobbler.  The other night we made blueberry ice cream.  I found a simple recipe.


Blueberry Ice Cream


2 cups cleaned blueberries


3/4 cup sugar


1/8 teaspoon salt


1 1/2 cups heavy cream


1 cup milk


Bring blueberries, salt and sugar to a boil.  Mash berries and simmer for 5  minutes.  Cool slightly and put in blender with milk.  Puree until smooth.  Stir in cream.  Cool mixture, covered, for at least two hours.  Freeze in your ice cream maker. 


I discovered that if I just open a pint of blueberry sauce and mix with milk and cream I can freeze that.  How easy.  The recipe calls for puttting the mixture through a sieve before you cool it.  I didn't.  I like berries, whole and in part in my ice cream.


Well it's off to the garden.


God bless your day as you bless Him.
