Ingredients
- 16 oz Concord grapes (weight without stems)
- 16 oz heavy cream (2 cups)
- 5 egg yolks
- 8 oz granulated sugar (1 cup)
- ⅛ teaspoon table salt
Instructions
- In a food processor, puree 16 oz Concord grapes until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine sieve to remove the seeds. You should have about 1½ cups of puree after straining. Refrigerate the puree it while you make the ice cream base.
- Heat 16 oz heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium high heat until scalding hot.
- While the cream heats up, whisk together 5 egg yolks 8 oz granulated sugar and ⅛ teaspoon table salt in a small bowl.
- Once the cream mixture is scalding hot, pour it into the bowl with the yolks and whisk to combine
- Return the entire mixture to the saucepan and heat over medium low heat, stirring constantly. Cook the custard until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not allow it to come to a full boil. Remove from the heat and pour back into the bowl from the yolks. Add the cold grape puree to the custard and stir to combine.
- Cover the bowl and chill until very cold. At least 4-5 hours or over night.
- Freeze according to the directions for your ice cream machine.
- When the ice cream is ready, scoop it into a container and smooth to an even layer. Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream, cover tightly and freeze until firm.
