Instructions

Combine huckleberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Gently heat over medium until berries soften and burst, about 5-7 minutes
Blend mixture until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds
Chill mixture for at least 30 minutes
Purify milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl
Churn custard base in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer instructions
Once churned, gently stir in huckleberry puree
Freeze until firm (4-6 hours)

Notes

Use frozen huckleberries without thawing for better nutrients
Adjust sugar based on berries’ tartness
Add vanilla bean in whole for intensified flavor
Substitute huckleberries with wild blueberries or raspberries if unavailable
Store in airtight container with plastic wrap directly touching surface to prevent ice crystals
