To make the blackberry sauce: Combine 2 cups of fresh blackberries with 3/4 cup sugar (again, I used coconut palm sugar) and bring to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool completely (can make ahead).

When ice cream has frozen, pack into a storage container, alternating layers of ice cream with pools of blackberry sauce (make sure to scoop some sauce into the base of the container.) Freeze at least 4 hours; enjoy!
