Tips:

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Use a blender or food processor to combine the cranberries, sugar, and water. This will help to create a smooth and creamy ice.
  • Freeze the ice cream mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the ice cream to set and become firm.
  • Serve the ice cream with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate chips.
