This is a perfect way to use up all of those fresh summertime blueberries.  Even if blueberries are not your favorite, you will love this summertime treat.

Step 1:

Prepare your blueberries by adding sugar and juice of one half lemon.  Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours.  Stir every 3o minutes.  They will make a sweet blueberry juice.

Step 2:

Make your ice cream base.  Whisk the eggs until light a fluffy … about 2 minutes.

Step 3:

Gradually add sugar, whisking the entire time to dissolve.

Stir in milk and cream until mixed.

Step 4:

Drain off the juice from the blueberries and pour into the ice cream base.  Smash the blueberries until smooth.

Step 5:

Add the blueberries to the ice cream base and pour into your ice cream maker.

I usually remove the soft frozen ice cream from the maker once done and store in an air tight container in the freezer until ready to serve.
