Blueberry ice cream from machine

1.5 cups serving Berries, Kroger Private Selection FROZEN BLUEBERRIES, small bush variety
60 tbsp or 4 cups of Kroger's heavy cream
3 cup Dairy, Milk - Whole
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
3 tsp Vanilla Extract

You could of course substitute the blueberries for another kind of berry or fruit.

In a large pot or pan over medium heat combine heavy cream, milk vanilla and sugar and bring to a small bubbling boil, then remove from heat. Set aside and allow the sugar to melt and the mixture to come to room temperature. I like to take the internal ice cream bowl which is metal from my ice cream maker and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes during this time. Be sure you have enough ice and rock salt to fill your maker with.
After the stove top cream and milk have cooled empty contents into the container you've placed in the freezer then into the machine. I place my blueberries into a two cup Pyrex cup and zap on 2 minutes at a temperature of 70% to defrost. I then add all of my berries and their juice to liquid ice cream mixture, then turn on machine and add your ice and salt and leave on for required amount of time until soft serve consistency at which time you'll transfer to another container to freeze it in the freezer in, or just leave in makers canister to freeze.
