Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries

(see note)

3/4 cup water

1 cup sugar

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

 

In a heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the fresh

blueberries, water and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to

help dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 1

minute. Remove from the heat and let stand for 30 minutes to steep.

 

Transfer the blueberry mixture to a food processor and process until

smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.

Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours.

 

Add the cream and lemon juice to the blueberry puree and stir to combine.

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the

manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe

container. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours or up to 3 days,

before serving. Makes about 1 quart.

 

Note: If using frozen blueberries, make the sugar syrup by combining the

water and sugar in a saucepan, bringing the mixture to a boil over

medium-high heat, and cooking it until clear, about 1 minute. Put the

frozen blueberries in a heatproof bowl and pour the syrup over them. Let

cool and then transfer to the food processor. Proceed with the recipe.

NOTES : Most blueberries are large and round with deep blue skins

and a powdery white bloom. In season from late spring

until the end of the summer, they are a delicious treat

when warm weather arrives. Like all berries, blueberries

freeze beautifully, so if you cannot find fresh ones, use

frozen. Tiny, sweet Maine blueberries are especially good.

These low-bush berries, famous for growing wild in Maine

and similar cool climates, do not travel well, although

nowadays a fairly good-sized crop is cultivated and sold

frozen or made into preserves.
