I purchased the cuisinart 1 1/2 quart ice cream maker several years ago and it has gotten more than it’s moneys worth. I bought mine from Williams-Sonoma because it came with an extra freezer bowl which has actually come in quite handy when you want to make two different flavors of ice cream. One of my favorite flavors of ice cream is raspberry. Since I make ice cream so often I experiment with different flavors and ingredients. I came up with this recipe because I didn’t have any fresh or even frozen raspberries on hand, but I was craving raspberry ice cream and all I had was raspberry jam. I love that this recipe uses jam because it’s already ready to go, no need to puree berries. I used raspberry freezer jam that I made this past summer (for the most incredible raspberry freezer jam ever try out this recipe from Sure Jell). Who knew the less sugar recipe would make better jam? It’s the best jam I’ve ever had. This is also some of the best frozen custard I’ve ever had. It’s so smooth and dreamy, and you would think it was made with fresh raspberries! Too bad every bit of it is now totally gone, it went quick =).
