This recipe is based on Martha Stewart's Concord grape Swirl Ice Cream.
I adjust and use less ingredients because I have a small ice cream maker.

2 cups Concord grapes, rinsed and stemmed
6 egg yolks
3/4 and 1/3 cup sugar, divided
1 cup milk
1½ cups heavy cream
2 tsp pure vanilla extract or 1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped.
1/4 tsp salt
- Mash grape and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium saucepan (just to separate the skin and pulp). Bring it to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat down to simmer until the pulp turns opaque and start to burst about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain liquid through a fine or medium mesh sieve into a bowl about 1/2 cup. Set the sieve over another bowl and press the grapes against the sieve to separate the pulp and the skin/seeds. We should have about 1/2 cup grape mixture. Cover and refrigerate the liquid overnight. Spread grape mixture in a metal disk and transfer it into the freezer until firm but not solid. It took me near 6 hours. Next time I will freeze it overnight in an airtight container.
- Whisk egg yolks with 6 Tbs sugar and salt in a bowl until pale yellow. Combine milk and cream in a medium saucepan, add vanilla seeds and pot. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium high heat. When the mixture start to rise up the side, remove from heat. Gradually whisk 1/2 of hot milk mixture into the egg yolks mixture. Pour egg-milk mixture back to the pan , cook over medium heat. Stir constantly until thick enough to coat the back of the wooden spoon about 6-8 minutes. Pour custard through a fine sieve to a bowl. Stir occasionally until cool. Refrigerate overnight.
- Mix grape juice with custard and strain through a fine sieve again. Discard solid.
- Transfer custard mixture to an ice cream maker and following the manufacture's the instruction . When ice cream is done, transfer to a bowl and fold the grape mixture in. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and keep frozen until serve up to a week.
