Preparation

Step 1

To prepare the fruit puree, combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface. Remove from the heat and let cool. In a blender, puree the mixture in 2 batches. If desired, strain through a fine-meshed sieve. Let cool.

To prepare the ice cream, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cream, buttermilk, sugar and egg yolks in a heavy 4-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the custard coats a metal spoon. Remove from the heat and let cool.

In a small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup cream, sour cream and salt. Stir into the custard. Pour into a large bowl and set in a bowl of ice to cool. Blend in the fruit puree.

Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
