Frozen Berry Custard

Directions

1. 1. Chop the berries and place them into a bowl. Sprinkle the berries with 1 tablespoon sugar, stir and set aside.
2. 2. Whisk the egg yolks with sugar and vanilla until pale in color, set aside.
3. 3. In a saucepan combine whipping cream and milk, scald over medium high heat, then remove from heat. Add about ¼ cup of the milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. This will bring up the temperature of the eggs slightly. Then add the egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan.
4. 4. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into an ungreased 8” x 8” baking dish. (Instead of a baking dish if you have an ice cream maker you could follow the manufacturer’s directions and use that).
5. 5. Drain the remaining sugar liquid off of the berries and add the berries to the custard. Stir, then place the dish in the freezer for one hour. Remove from the freezer and stir to mix and break up any frozen clumps. Place back in the freezer for another hour. Remove from freezer and stir well to smooth the mixture. Place back in the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and stir to blend and even the freezing process. Place back in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and stir, it should be frozen enough to serve immediately or place into a container to store in the freezer.
