Black Raspberry Ice Cream

Back in the late 70's, early 80's, there was this ice cream shop in the Provincetown section of Cape Cod, called The Big Bad Wolf. I barely remember it, but my family loved it. Supposedly, they had the best ice cream.

To this day, one of my brothers still raves about their black raspberry ice cream. We have tried it at other places, but he claims that they do not taste the same. BBW had the best.

15 years ago, when I first got an ice cream maker, I was determined to make my own version. First obstacle? Black raspberries are hard to come by in NYC. Solution? My pops suggested that I use black raspberry jelly. Second obstacle? That jelly is hard to find around here, unless you want to buy an overpriced brand. When I am lucky enough to find the jelly, I have made the ice cream.

This past year, Amazon started selling the jelly for a great price. That was a game changer. I can now make this ice cream more often. My picky brother says that mine is the best that he has had, but BBW is slightly better. I'll take it.

Enjoy!

Since I was a kid, I remember sitting in the kitchen to watch and/or help my parents. As I grew up, I decided to try their recipes and experiment with different recipes. Some were very good and I re-make them all of the time. Others? Yeah, I never tried them again. All of the recipes that I post are the very good ones.Also, while growing up, my pops suffered from high blood pressure, so my mom stopped adding sodium. Since that is how I was raised, all of the dishes that I post do not have any extra sodium added to it. A lot of friends and family who try my recipes, either do not notice nor miss it. But in no way am I saying not to add salt if you use my recipes. If you want to add it, then go for it.In closing, I hope that you enjoy my recipes. If you use any, then please post pictures. Enjoy!
