Raspberry Ice Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (10 ounce) boxes frozen raspberries, thawed (in heavy syrup)
    2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 1/4 cups whole milk
    2 large egg yolks
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla
    1 cup chilled heavy cream
Preparation
    Puree raspberries and syrup with lemon juice in a food processor; then force through a sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding the solids.
    Whisk together sugar and cornstarch in a bowl. Then whisk in milk, yolks, and a pinch of salt. Cook custard mix in a 2 1/2-3 quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, whisking until it just reaches a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, whisking continuously (custard will look curdled).
    Pour custard through fine sieve into a bowl. Stir in vanilla and cool, stirring occasionally.
    Stir berry puree and cream into custard and chill, covered, until cold (at least 2 hours).
    Freeze in ice cream maker, following manufacturers instructions. Transfer to an air tight container and put in freezer to harden.
    Note: Ice cream keeps about 1 week.
