Blueberry Ice Cream

Getting an ice cream which has a big blueberry taste is something I’ve never really found. You can find big chocolate taste or big peanut butter taste in ice cream. After making the blueberry syrup, I had a new ingredient in the fridge. Not common in grocery stores and not liking waste, I needed ideas to aid in it’s consumption. I always trying to make posh ice creams. I might try to resurrect an old passion and make soda. Anyways if I only use it for pancakes the syrup will last a long time. I’m guessing it’ll probably last 6 months or so in the fridge.

Ingrdients:

• 1 cup Blueberry syrup
• 1 2/3 cup skim milk
• 1 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups blueberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup water

Instructions:

1. In medium pan cook blueberries, sugar, and about a cup of water.
2. Cook until mixture thickens like jam trying to leave berries as whole as possible.
3. Place jam mixture in refrigerator for 1 hour.
4. In 2 quart bowl mix blueberry syrup, skim milk, and cream with whisk until frothy.
5. Prepare mixture in ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
