Cranberry Ice Cream

1 pound fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons plain yogurt

Put cranberries in a saucepan and pour 1 cup boiling water over. Cover and leave for 5 minutes. Bring to simmering point, cook for 5 minutes, turn off the heat and leave for 5 minutes. Bring to simmering point again and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the sugar, and reduce to a pur�e. Let cool.

In a bowl, lightly whip the cream with the yogurt, then fold into the pur�e. Pour the mixture into a container. Cover and freeze until firm, beating twice at hourly intervals.

About 20 minutes before serving, transfer the ice cream to the refrigerator.
