Preparation

Step 1

Put the berries, 1 cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice into a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thick, 10 to 13 minutes. Divide the blackberry mixture in half and strain one half through a fine sieve. Pour the strained blackberries into a shallow bowl and combine with the unstrained blackberries. Place and fridge and cool completely.

Put the milk, cream, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar and sage into a saucepan and cook over medium heat whisking to dissolve sugar. Bring the cream mixture to just a boil and then remove from the heat. Cover and let steep for 20 minutes at room temperature. Pour the cream mixture into a shallow pan or bowl and place in the fridge to chill thoroughly.

When the blackberries and cream mixtures are both chilled, whisk them together and add the vanilla. Process in an ice cream maker, and then transfer to an airtight container to harden.
