Hi all, whew it is hot up here in the Pacific Northwest. What better time for some homemade ice cream. And up here blackberries grow like weeds, thousands of acres of them. I eat myself sick everytime I take a walk. So here is a quick and delicious recipe for homemade Blackberry Ice Cream. I am going to make some this weekend.

Blackberry Ice Cream

2 C. freshly picked blackberries (frozen can be used)
1 C. sugar
2 C. heavy cream
2 - 3 T. fresh lemon juice
Puree berries in a food processor. Force the berries through a fine strainer to remove the seeds. Add the sugar to the cream and mix until dissolved. Stir in the berry puree and lemon juice. Freeze in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
