One of the finest fruits in my mind, not only do they taste like they are doing you some good, they are super yummy and on top of all that they are free and available by the Tupperware box load.

I love free!! I don’t however love the thorns in my fingers when picking them and falling down ditches is a risk if you’re determined to get that big one up there.  But the odd bit of blood shed and bruises are worth it.

Today I have made blackberry (and blood!) sorbet. The colour is so deep, rich and intense and the taste is earthy and purple! It tastes so, so good, I can’t wait to share the recipe with you. Adding the egg whites also makes this sorbet go further which is always good with something so delicious.

Method

1. In a saucepan heat the milk and cream over a low heat, stirring until just boiling.
2. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla essence and leave for around half an hour to infuse.
3. Mix the egg yolks and sugar together in a large jug. Pour the milk and cream over the egg and sugar and whisk until combined.
4. Return this mixture to your saucepan and heat over a low heat for around 10 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
5. Pour into a jug and leave to cool. If you like you can speed up the cooling by putting your jug into a bowl of cold water and ice. If you try to churn your mixture before it is cool it will not freeze in your ice cream maker.
6. Once cool, pour into your ice cream maker and churn for around 30 minutes or until firm enough to scoop.
7. Serve or transfer into a freezer proof container and freeze for later.
