CRANBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a bowl until the mixture looks paler and resembles a mousse.
• Put the cream in a saucepan and heat gently. Do not allow to boil - it will be the right temperature when you are just about able to bear to dip a finger in it!
• Pour the cream into the bowl containing the egg yolks and sugar, whisking all the time.
• Transfer the combined mixture into a bowl set over a pan of simmering water or, ideally a double-boiler, as you need to reheat it very gently.
• The mixture will gradually thicken until it looks like a custard (which is what it is). Stir regularly to make sure it does not stick while it is thickening.
• Remove the thick custard from the heat and transfer into a bowl.
• If you are using my home-made Fresh Cranberry Sauce, you will need to use a food processor or hand-held blender to chop up the whole berries and create a rough paste before adding to the custard. If you are using smooth, ready-made Cranberry Sauce, you can just stir it into the custard.
• Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature and then transfer to the fridge to become thoroughly chilled.
• When you are ready to make the ice-cream, transfer to your ice-cream maker and use according to your machine's instructions. If you do not have an ice-cream maker, you can place the mixture in a freezer-proof container, put in the freezer for several hours until half-frozen. Whisk the mixture and then return to the container and replace in the freezer until totally frozen.
