# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1.1 lb fresh or frozen black currants, stems removed

→ Sweetener

04 - Stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
05 - Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour until thoroughly chilled.
06 - Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20 to 30 minutes.
