Categories: frozen dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 heaping tsp. unflavored gelatin
  • 3/4 cup cold water, divided use
  • About 1 lb. ripe strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • About 6 oz. ripe blackberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (less of berries are sweet)
  • 1 cup milk OR half-and-half
  • Juice of 1 lime

Directions

  1. in a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup of the water; set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, combine berries and the remaining 1/4 cup water and cook over low heat just until berries begin to break down, about 5 minutes. Mash with the back of spoon to desired consistency. I kept mine fairly chunky.
  3. Transfer berries to a glass bowl and combine with the softened gelatin and the sugar; stirring to dissolve sugar. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.
  4. Add half-and-half and lime juice and transfer mixture to an ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  5. makes about 1 quart
