- Make sure pint base is closed. Remove mixture from heat and pour through a fine-mesh strainer into an empty Swirl Pint (2-cup capacity). In a small bowl, mash blueberries with blueberry jam, then gently swirl into the custard base in the pint. Place pint in an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, place storage lid on pint and freeze for 24 hours.

- Select SOFT SERVE, then FROZEN CUSTARD.
- When processing is complete, hold the release button to the left of the outer bowl, twist bowl handle, then pull away from unit to remove the pint from outer bowl. Install dispense lid and install pint in unit, aligning the blue tabs. Twist white pint base to the OPEN position. Pull handle to dispense into a bowl or cone, top with graham cracker crumbs, and serve immediately.
