Thought you might like to try this recipe (stolen from Roger Phillips' Wild Food) now that the blackberry season is upon us.
I usually double the quantities and put it into a plastic ice cream container.

450g (1 lb) raw blackberries
100g (4oz) sugar
1.5 dl (1/4 pint) water
1 small egg white

Turn freezer to coldest setting.
Make a syrup by boiling the sugar and water for 4 mins. Allow to cool.
Smash blackberries in blender and then sieve out the seeds, retaining the juice. Mix juice with sugar syrup.
Beat egg white until it forms soft peaks and fold thoroughly into the blackberry mixture.
Put into a dish, cover and freeze to a mush. Stir and freeze for a further half hour. Stir again and freeze until set.

thanks goldilox. Defrosted our freezer yesterday and found POUNDS of blackberries lurking (and this year's crop not picked yet) so will try this recipe. The home-made icecream we make is always as hard as a brick - doesn't include egg whites, so a sorbet might provide a more easily edible alternative.
