Blueberry Ice-Cream

INGREDIENTS:

- 3/4 pint blueberries
   [pick out the stems and wash]
- 3 fl oz caster sugar
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 500ml Jersey whipping cream0
   or any brand whipping cream



PREPARATION:

     The following process assumes you are using an ice cream machine.

     In a microwaveable bowl, place the bluberries, caster sugar and water, cover, then place in the centre of the microwave and cook in high heat [800 watts] for 5 minutes. If your microwave has lower wattage, just adjust the cooking time. Take the bowl out of the microwave and stir the syrup. Let cool for 3 minutes then put through a sieve - you should get 1/2 a pint of sieved syrup. Let cool completely.

     In a measuring jug, pour the whipping cream and add the vanilla essence. Stir. Add the syrup prepared and mix again.

     Plug the ice cream machine and press start. Slowly pour in all of the mixture. Churn for about 20-25 minutes.
Serve. You may also want to garnish with fresh blueberries for extra burst of goodness but totally optional.
