- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup semi-dry fruity red wine, such as Sangiovese
- Heat the sugar and water together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved completely, making a simple syrup. Set aside to cool.
- Puree the blackberries in a blender or food processor; strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any seeds or pulp. Whisk the strained blackberry juice, the cooled simple syrup, and the red wine together in a bowl; chill in refrigerator until cold.
- Freeze in the freezer canister of an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions
