Bilberry Ice Cream: Classic British recipe for a traditional ice cream made from a blend of wild bilberries, sugar, orange juice, cream and vanilla extract, a single scoop shown in a bowl.
Ingredients:
750g bilberries
300g sugar
3 tbsp orange juice
1l single cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Combine the bilberries, sugar and orange juice in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Every now and then mash the berries against the side of the pan as they heat up and cook. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, allow to cool slightly then purée in a blender and pass through a fine-meshed sieve to remove any pips. Set the mixture aside to cool completely.
Meanwhile turn on our ice cream machine and allow the bowl to chill. Combine the blueberry mixture, the cream and the vanilla in the chilled bowl of the ice cream machine then churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the ice cream is set.
