Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Homemade Fresh Blackberry Ice Cream:

1. Prepare Blackberries: Rinse the blackberries under cool water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
2. Make Blackberry Puree: In a blender or food processor, add blackberries and half of the sugar (½ cup). Blend until smooth.
3. Strain the Puree: Use a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds, if desired. Collect the smooth puree in a bowl.
4. Combine Mixture: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining sugar (½ cup), vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves.
5. Mix in Puree: Stir the blackberry puree into the cream mixture until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
6. Chill the Mixture: Place the ice cream mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
7. Churn Ice Cream: Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for about 25 minutes.
8. Transfer to Container: When the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
9. Freeze: Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.

Following these steps will ensure that your Homemade Fresh Blackberry Ice Cream turns out creamy and rich, delighting everyone who gets a scoop!
