Put fruit in a pan with water & sugar. Cover & simmer for 5 minutes. Tip into a sieve over a bowl (plastic is best) and push through with a wooden spoon. Chill. Whip the cream until thick but still soft - it should fall from a spoon. Add the fruit puree, mix well & freeze for 2 hours. Mash with a fork or process it. Return to freezer. Repeat mashing after 2 more hours. Ready after a further 2 hours in the freezer. Serve with extra blackberries and (possibly) my home made ginger snaps.

Show more commentsNice ice cream not too sweet. Table spoon of vodka added to the recipe allows immediate spooning from the freezer.
