Equipment

Chef's knife
Dutch oven, or other heavy bottom pot
countertop blender
fine mesh strainer
Electric ice cream maker

Ingredients

1 pound ripe purple or black plums pitted, and cut into large chunks (see the ingredient notes in the post)
1 pint fresh blackberries
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 bunch sage leaves
½ cup honey I recommend blackberry honey
35 ounces Greek yogurt (either 2% or full fat)
1 tablespoon Plum Brandy or Crème de Cassis

Instructions

Combine the plums, blackberries, sugar, water, lemon juice and sage in a medium pot over medium-low heat.
Simmer until the plums collapse into a chunky sauce - about 30 minutes.
Transfer to a food processor or blender, puree, and strain to remove the skins, seeds, and larger pieces of sage. You should end up with 1 ¼ - 1 ⅓ cups of puree.
Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Stir in the honey, yogurt and brandy.
Refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the directions for your ice cream maker.
This is a soft ice cream because of the liquor. If you prefer a harder texture, either eliminate the liquor, or scoop the churned frozen yogurt into an 8" X 8" pan and cover with foil or plastic. Chill in the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving, or ideally overnight.
