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.
