How to Make Plum Ice Cream

Combine plums, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat.
Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until plums are very soft (about 20-25 minutes).
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Press mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove skins and seeds. Discard solids.
Stir in heavy cream and milk.
Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions.
Once churned, transfer ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 6 hours to allow it to harden completely.
