Matthew Glenn's Grapity Grape Ice Cream

Grape Ice Cream (Minus candied grapes. Didn't have the $$$)

Frustrated that I couldn't get a hold of Grandma Glenn's Purple Ice Cream I decided to create my own. 

This recipe works perfectly with any ice cream maker but the recipe is tuned to work with our 2 quart Cuisinart Ice Cream and Yogurt Maker. 

2 1/2 Cups of Heavy Cream

3/4 Cup of Sugar

1 Cup whole milk

1/2 Cup of reduced grape juice

1 cup of candied red/purple grapes

To make the reduced grape juice take a liter of concord grape juice (Welch's or Kirkland Costco brand) and on a medium heat simmer to boil the liquid till it gradually becomes thicker. Reduce liter of liquid to about 1/2 a cup. Should take about an hour depending on how high a heat/fire you're using. 

I am experimenting still with the recipe, my mother has suggested trying concentrate from a can, I may try that on the next batch.

To make the candied grapes you need to make a simple syrup. 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar heat on a medium heat till the sugar dissolved and it starts to thicken. Add the halved grapes into the liquid and cook (simmering) until they're candied. Should take about 5 minutes. Remove grapes and cool. Add grapes in the last 2 minutes of churning. 

In a mixing bowl mix sugar and whole milk till sugar dissolves. Add Heavy cream and whip till nearly becomes whipping cream. Add to the freezing cold ice cream machine and start to churn for 20 minutes and the ice cream starts to thicken to near soft serve consistency. Add in the reduced grape juice and mix well, should immediately start to darken and turn purple. Add candied grapes in the last 2 minutes. Mix for a total of 30 minutes. Transfer to container and freeze for at least 2 hours. 

Should be grapity delicious!
