Huckleberry white chocolate ice cream

O yes swirls of tastieness!

I bought Jeni's Ice Cream book because in Seattle I can't get her real stuff so I decided the next best thing was to make it. Vanilla is our favorite ice cream the one with the vanilla bean seeds floating in every amazing creamy bite. But I had some frozen huckleberries from the farmer's market so I through them in and sweetened the deal with white chocolate. So far we've just been eating it straight out of the container!
