blackberry-sour cream ice cream


i bought blackberries at the store not really knowing what i would do with them. i do believe i made the correct choice to pulverize them and turn them into a most delicious ice cream, the flavor of which i have never experienced in any ice cream before. i was inspired by lindsey's strawberry sour cream ice cream and wish i would have had cream on hand instead of half & half. but fiddle-de-dee! it was amazing anyway. and i borrowed this photo from http://myhusbandcooks.wordpress.com/ beacuse mine was gone before i could get a picture.
18 oz package blackberries
3/4 cup sugar
juice of 1 lime
1 cup sour cream (i'm just now imagining what it would have tasted like if i had use fage...mmm)
1 cup heavy cream or half & half
1/2 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt
put blackberries in a blender or food processor and mix until completely liquified. press juice into large bowl through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. add remaining ingredients and whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture begins to thicken. refrigerate until very cold, the freeze in ice cream maker according to it's directions. put in freezer until firm, then enjoy every mother loving bite.
