Instructions: Line strainer with two layers of dampened cheesecloth. Set over large bowl.

Combine berries* and water in medium saucepan. Slowly bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently until soft, about 10 minutes. Pour into cheesecloth-lined strainer. Let stand until juice has drained into bowl, about 30 minutes. Gently squeeze pulp to extract remaining juice. Measure berry juice into heavy medium saucepan. Add 1 cup sugar for each cup juice.

Cook over low heat, swirling pan occasionally, until sugar dissolves.

Increase heat and boil syrup 2 minutes. Cool completely. Mix 2 1/2 cups syrup with cream. Refrigerate until well chilled. Process boysenberry mixture in ice cream maker according to manufacturers instructions; ice cream will be soft. Freeze in covered container several hours to mellow flavors. Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves.
*Can substitute unsweetened frozen boysenberries, thawed.

Serves: 8
