Ingredients
3 cups heavy whipping cream
6 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
whatever fruit you like

Directions
Puree a cup of fruit and set aside. If you want slightly chunky ice cream, chop another ½ cup of fruit and set aside, otherwise omit the chopped fruit. Separate your eggs. Combine cream, yolks, and sugar in a sauce pan and heat on medium heat, stirring frequently. Heat until mixture is warm, and thickens slightly. Once heated, remove from heat and cool. Add the fruits to the mixture. Then pour into ice cream maker canister and follow manufacturer's directions to freeze the ice cream. Make sure to stir during setting for “chunk distribution” if you have chosen the chunky route.
