Wild Blackberry Goat's Milk Ice Cream

This is a perfect summer dessert--sweet, refreshing, and completely delicious.

2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3 cups fresh goat's milk
1 pint wild blackberries, crushed

Beat eggs in large mixing bowl for at least 2 minutes, until thick and foamy. Gradually add sugar and continue beating for another minute. Add milk and blackberries and blend very well. Freeze in ice cream freezer according to manufacturer's instructions.

I'm quite fond of this recipe not only because it may be the best homemade non-chocolate ice cream ever, but because it uses ingredients of which we currently have plenty! Despite our concerns owing to the cool and rainy weather, the blackberries have ripened nicely and are producing a crop satisfactory even to my desires. I've eaten quarts of them fresh, frozen two big bags full, and made jam this morning, and there are still more to be picked. Hurray!

Sounds delectable! Wish we had goat milk. :( It's against the law in our state to even sell raw cow's milk. >:( Maybe we can smuggle a pastoral sheep into the yard and have sheep milk ice cream. :)
