Blackberry Gelato

Plain Gelato Base
3 cups fresh blackberries
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Make the plain gelato base and chill as directed.

Combine the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a food processor and puree, scraping down the sides of the machine once or twice if needed.  Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract all the liquid.  Discard the solids.  Cover and refrigerate the puree until cold, about 1 hour.

Gently whisk the blackberry puree into the base.  Freeze in an ice cream maker.

Makes about 1 quart of gelato.
