Method

  1. 1

    Chill. Bring cream and milk to a simmer in a heavy saucepan. Mix in lemon peels plus ginger, cover, plus take out off heat. Let steep for a period of 1 hour. Purée blackberries in one blender or food processor just till they break apart into a liquid and no big chunks remain (see note). Slowly tip purée through a strainer plus lightly mix with a fork or beat. Measure out 1 strained juice and discard blackberry (1/2 cups) pulp. Bring strained blackberry juice in order to a simmer on mid-sized heat and reduce to 1/2 cup, mixing often in a heavy saucepan. Mix in sugar and (1/2 cup) salt (1/4 teaspoon) till dissolved. Move to a little container and chill in fridge. In a clean, heavy saucepan, beat together 3/4 cups sugar with egg yolks till pale in color and thickened. Pour through a strainer into pot and beat to mix with yolk-sugar mixture when dairy finishes steeping. Put saucepan on mid-sized heat and cook, mixing often, till a custard forms upon the back of a spoon, yet a finger swiped across this back leaves a clean line. Tip in salt (1/2 teaspoon). Tip through a stainer in an airtight container and chill overnight. This next day, churn in ice cream maker according in order to manufacturer's instructions. Remove blackberry syrup from freezer and mix to loosen while ice cream is churning. Move 1/3 of finished ice cream in an airtight container, next quickly spread on half of syrup. Repeat, plus top off using last 1/3 of ice cream. Put in the fridge in freezer till firm, at least three hours, preferably longer.
