Of all the homemade ice cream recipes out there, this one is the best! You can substitute for any kind of fruit you like, but blackberry is my favorite!
Mix sugar and blackberries together until they are melty and syrupy. You can either blend them together in blender or you can mash them by hand to your desired consistency (some like it chunky, some like it smooth. We leave a few chunks in ours).
Poor sugar/berry mixture into your ice cream maker. Poor equal amounts of half and half and whipping cream in your chamber until you hit the fill line. Now just follow the directions on your ice cream maker (ours you just have to turn on, my parents you have to add salt and ice, etc.) and wait for your ice cream to be ready to devour.

Notes
You can substitute the blackberries for any fruit you like! From peaches, to strawberries to raspberries to blueberries any option is delicious. Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. The consistency of this ice cream is not as hard as store bought varieties, that is due in part to a lack of chemicals and preservatives and is totally normal. All measurements are for a 5 quart ice cream maker, if using a different size, adjust measurements accordingly.
