Seasonal Recipes: Blueberries
Our youngest daughter is affectionately nicknamed "The Blueberry Monster". So as you can imagine, we go through a lot of blueberries at our house. This year I froze 30 lbs of berries. We will see if it lasts a full year. Last years supply ran out fast. We use our berries in lots of things from pancakes to smoothies. Just this year a friend gave me a new recipe for blueberry ice cream. It was an instant family favorite.
We used fresh cream from raw milk. Using the real fresh stuff helps with the flavor and texture. This ice cream was the richest and best tasting ice cream I have ever had in my life. The best part was that the kids loved it because of purple color.
Here is the rich creamy recipe.
Blueberry Ice Cream
3 cups blueberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 Tbls. lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup half and half
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 Tbls. lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup half and half
In heavy 2 qt. saucepan heat blueberries, water and sugar to boiling. Stir for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Add lemon juice and chill until cold (or overnight). Add creams and place in ice cream maker.
Yes, it was just that easy. I would suggest serving it in small dishes with only one small to medium sized scoop. It reminds me of french dessert. It is so rich that you only need a small amount.

Knock Off Knock Out is a great idea! I'll have to join you. We do have a lot of "inspired" pieces in our house. LOL
Thank-you for sharing! That looks super tasty and perfect for summer
YUUUMMMMMMMMM!
That looks amazing!!!
This looks amazing. I have a grandson who could challenge your daughter for the title of Blueberry Monster :-). I hope you are having a wonderful day.
YUMMMMM... I'll have to give this recipe a try for sure! Get a load of that color!!
This looks wonderful! I posted a recipe for blueberry pie a couple months ago - seems like that's the norm for blueberries. But I will definitely have to try this out; the color is fantastic too!
Wow you had 30 pounds of blueberries. Not sure I would have room for all of those berries and I would be making lots of delicious ice cream too. I make the blueberry cream cheese recipe from Leibowitz book of ice cream. Try it as it is so good. I will try your recipe this Sunday for my company. Thanks for sharing.
