Blueberry Ice Cream

I love homemade ice cream.  This blueberry ice cream was so sweet, and I thought it was delicious.  I especially liked the rich purple color of this recipe.  Yum!

Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

4 cups fresh blueberries or 4 cups frozen blueberries (I used frozen)
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons water
4 cups half-and-half cream

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar and water; bring to a boil.

2. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until sugar is dissolved and the blueberries are softened.

3. Cool the blueberries and process them in a blender or food processor.

4. Stir in cream.

5. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
6. Fill cylinder of ice cream freezer two thirds full and freeze according to the manufactur’s directions.

7. Allow to ripen in ice cream freezer or firm up in regular freezer for 2-4 hours before serving.
