Shortcut Blueberry Ice Cream
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
1 pint of your favorite vanilla ice cream
¼ to ½ cup blueberry jam (depending on how blueberry you like things)
DIRECTIONS
• Put a pint of vanilla ice cream in the refrigerator (not the freezer) for an hour to soften.
• Scoop the soft ice cream into a loaf pan or a medium-size mixing bowl and stir so
that it is all the same consistency.
• Drop spoonfuls of jam on top of the softened ice cream and swirl with a knife until
you have ribbons and streaks of jam throughout. Don’t stir too much — you want
nice swirls of blueberry.
• Cover the pan or bowl with plastic wrap and put into the freezer to harden.
Overnight is best for this.
• When it is frozen back to ice cream consistency, scoop and serve.
