Blueberry Frozen Yogurt

My daughter really does like berries - raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries... so, I frequently look for new ways to prepare them to keep her interest. Here is another fruit recipe that I found online, Blueberry Frozen Yogurt. This recipe takes more work than the Blackberry Frozen Yogurt, but it's not terribly difficult. The kiddo said that this yogurt had more flavor, so...

3 cups of fresh blueberries or 1 lb. of frozen
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
3/4 – 1 cup sugar (I used the full cup)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cinnamon (I used a bit more than this)
1 1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used vanilla yogurt)
1/2 cup whole milk (I used 2 percent)

Place the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Heat on medium heat, stirring, until all of the sugar has dissolved. While the mixture is heating, use a potato masher to mash up the blueberries. When all of the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Pour into a food processor and pulse a few times, then pour back into the saucepan.

Fill a large bowl (big enough to hold the pan) with ice water and sit pan inside it. This will help speed up the chilling process. Stir in the yogurt and milk until completely incorporated. Chill the mixture until completely cold.

Pour the yogurt mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer’s instructions. Serve immediately (it will be soft) or let it firm up in the freezer.
