custardy goodness

I had to make eggnog for work this week. Last week I saw it on sale at Astor Wines, pre-mixed with booze, but it was all gone by the time I got there. So I made a basic imitation, creme anglais (1 qt heavy cream, 6 yolks, 1 cup sugar). It ended up in the fridge in the studio for a few days, and when I was cleaning out the fridge on friday, Inspiration!

So I brought it home and put it in the ice cream machine with two boxes of blackberries, which were also leftovers. I mashed the berries a bit with a pastry cutter (yeah improvization!) before mixing them in.

It is in the freezer now, and I'll take a picture if I don't eat it all.
