Blackberry frozen yogurt

DD2 picked a bucket full of wild blackberries from the farm. The wild blackberry plant as opposed to the farmed one has a lot of thorns. Even with getting pricking all over she did not stop. The taste of the wild blackberries are much more intense than the farmed ones and also slightly smaller.

She made jelly and then still had some blackberries left and decided to make some frozen yogurt. She used Greek Yogurt but any strained yogurt is sufficient. I found this recipe which had the bare minimum ingredients from refinery.com and decided to go with that.

Wash and blend the blackberries.
Strain the blackberries and set the pulp aside.
Strain the yogurt and mix it into the blackberry pulp along with the honey.
Whisk the yogurt and the blackberry pulp to a smooth consistency and freeze for 4-6 hours or churn in an icecream maker.
