Baking tools for this recipe
Instructions
- Prepare ripe fruit purée and/or citrus juice; weigh the edible, strained fruit quantities stated. For acidic rhubarb or cranberries, cook and cool fruit before blending.
- In a saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup and water; warm just until sugar is completely dissolved, then cool syrup in an ice bath.
- In a blender combine chilled fruit, measured lemon juice and cooled sugar syrup; blend until smooth.
- With the blender running at low speed, add cold pasteurized whole milk slowly. Blend briefly to emulsify; if strongly acidic fruit visibly curdles milk, strain and reblend only after chilling.
- Cover and chill the complete base at 40°F (4°C) or below for at least 4 hours until very cold.
- Churn in a pre-frozen domestic ice cream maker 20–30 minutes or until the texture resembles soft serve; follow machine capacity instructions.
- Transfer to a chilled lidded container and harden in a 0°F (-18°C) freezer for 2–4 hours; temper 5–10 minutes in refrigerator before scooping.
Tips
- Use pasteurized dairy and chilled fruit; acid plus dairy can destabilize, so blend cold and add dairy gradually.
