The Web is full of blueberry ice cream recipes that look either over-complicated and just plain weird (nine eggs for a couple of quarts of ice cream?). I also found one simple one, and used that as a guideline.
This is what I've done:
One pint blueberries, picked over
One cup milk
A bit over half a cup of sugar
One pint heavy cream
Just a little vanilla extract
I squashed most of the blueberries into a bowl, using my hands. (I reserved a couple of dozen, which will go in partway through the freezing process.) Then I mixed the milk into the blueberries, added the sugar, and beat quickly using an electric mixer. Added the cream and beat again.
I ladled the resulting mixer through a sieve into the container of the ice cream mixer, squishing the solids against the sieve to extract as much blueberry pulp as possible. At the last minute, I added a dash of vanilla extract and stirred, then put the container into the ice cream maker and started it going. The timer is set for 30 minutes; when it goes off, I'll add the reserved whole blueberries, and let it keep mixing and freezing until it chimes to tell me the ice cream is done, at which point I'll taste it and, if it seems plausible, pack it into the regular freezer to freeze the rest of the way.
