Blackberry Frozen Yogurt

[bellwether]

I made blackberry frozen yogurt tonight, to try out a herb combo that I've been thinking about.

It was a hit--morganlf and glass_diamonds both liked it and urged me to write down the recipe... so, for posterity, here it is. I also liked it, but it was a bit seedy. Next time, I'd defrost the berries, puree them, and strain out the seeds before using.

Blackberry Frozen Yogurt

Frozen blackberries (1/2 a package)
4 cups of non-fat yogurt
2/3 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of pomegranate juice (non-sweetened)
2-3 Tbs lemon verbena leaves (a small handful)
3 Tbs sweet basil (a few large leaves)

Strain yogurt in cheesecloth for 30 minutes to an hour

Puree everything in a blender.

If *not* using frozen berries, chill the mixture in the freezer until really cold or partially frozen.

Pour into ice cream maker and freeze as per manufacturers instructions.

That sounds delightful. We have blackberries in the freezer right now, but they're marked for a different dessert. Hopefully more will appear at the local farmers' market in future.

Hmm, I just added a dozen userpic icons and I still haven't made one for yummy food. Must do something about that.
