Midsummer Blueberries ice cream

A pleasant and summery Blueberry Yoghurt ice cream based on jam. If your jam consists of at least about 125 gram sugar, there should be no need to add much extra sugar to the base (if your jam is considerably sweeter, though, you should consider adjusting the recipe by adding more dairy or using less jam to avoid a too sweet end-result)
