Pull up a chair, grab some iced tea, and 'sit a bit' as we say down south. Hey Y’all! Welcome to some good ole, down home southern cooking.

If you don't have a Vitamix blender, blend to puree and press through a mesh sieve to rid of seeds, if desired set aside. For Vitamix, start on 1 working up to 10, then let run for 2 minutes. Process blackberries in a blender with the sugar and lemon juice. Just swipe or scroll past the step by step pictures below. Here's how I made my small batch churned blackberry ice cream, and as always, full recipe text with measurements and instructions, as well as a printable document, are a little bit further down the page. I also left out the cream cheese on the third batch and I churned it. I was very pleased! Absent that, you would need to puree first, then push the puree though a sieve, potentially several times, to rid the berries of all of the seeds. or something along that line, to do this. It also tasted too much like frozen whipped cream to me, so back to the drawing board!įor my next effort, I put the ice cream I'd made back in the refrigerator to allow it to melt a bit, then blended it all together and churned it in my freezer bucket ice cream maker. While blackberry seeds are perfectly okay when just eating them, or even in a cobbler or preserves, even just a few seeds does not appeal to me in an ice cream. I had also failed to puree the berries long enough to pulverize all the seeds, and even though I also pressed the puree through a sieve, it was still too crunchy from the seeds. The frozen product was crumbly, grainy and just had a weird texture - not creamy like ice cream is supposed to be. I started with the standard base of whipped heavy cream with sweetened condensed milk, but thought I'd add some cream cheese and swirl in the blackberry puree instead of blending it in. Since no churn ice cream seems to be all the rage here lately, I thought I'd give it a try. I made three batches, so it's a good thing that I have a blackberry vine that puts out quite a lot of berries every season! Let's just start off by saying that it took a few experiments to get to this version of blackberry ice cream. I think of them every time I make this cobbler.A small batch churned version of ice cream, made with a fresh blackberry puree. But I haven’t forgotten those childhood blackberries. These days, I buy my blackberries from the grocery store. Mama would bake them in an old-fashioned southern blackberry cobbler, or make jam out of them, and sometimes we’d just enjoy them in a bowl with some milk and sugar. But oh my word those berries were delicious. Sound like a lot of trouble for some berries? Maybe. If the snake doesn’t run off, you turn your hoe around and use the other end to deal efficiently and quickly with the now angry rattlesnake. ![]() You take the handle of your hoe and poke it all around under the bush, and if there’s a snake under there, it’ll run off leaving you free to gather your blackberries (or dewberries as the case may be). And, most important of all, we had to take a hoe or something similar for protection from rattlesnakes.Įverybody knows rattlesnakes love to live under blackberry bushes. We had to wear long sleeves for protection from the fairly vicious thorns on the berry vines. Picking blackberries back then did require some preparation. Most blackberries you find in markets now are “cultivated.” They’ve been bred to be larger and more attractive than old-fashioned dewberries, but they’ll never be quite as delicious :-) Dewberries ripen in April and May and then they’re gone until the next year. They’re the smaller, sweeter, first cousin to blackberries. ![]() To be more precise, those wild blackberries were technically dewberries. ![]()
