Marjoram

by Laurie

A1 Raspberry Ice Cream (like Ben & Jerry's®)

This is really, really good. I made it for the first time today. I used 3/4 cup Splenda and 3/4 regular sugar. I had to add more lemon juice than this recipe called for in order for the berries to have enough juice to pour. It does make a large quart, so be forewarned.
