It is such a shame as blackberry picking is one of the only things that helps me get over the end of summer. A lot of the ones I found looked good but were incredibly sour. I think the hand method would work fine – I’m just a lazy toad since investing in the machine. And to be honest I don’t mind the odd ice crystal – tis all part of the fun of homemade! 🙂

In reply to Domestic Executive. It is pretty delish, but then any excuse to use my ice cream machine! Do give it a try!

It has been a bad year for blackberries in general. Experts say it was because the very warm early spring, then a cold April did for both the flowers and the pollinators. Fruits haven't developed properly.

Still, there's always next year.

I don't have an ice cream machine. Do you think this would set well with no egg in if I used the handmade method of freezing and churning?

If you can’t have summer, Autumn is a pretty fine second best. I love nothing better than blackberry picking. This ice cream looks delicious and the perfect pick me up when the days get shorter.
