2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
4 slightly beaten egg yolks
2 tbsp. vanilla
1 tsp ground cardamom
3 cups whipping cream
2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted (optional)

1.

Cover; process or blend until almost smooth. Pour blueberry mixture through a fine mesh sleeve into a medium bowl, pressing on solids with back of spoon; discard solids. Add the reserved 1 cup of blueberry mixture and the 1 cup of whipping cream to sleeved mixture. Cover; chill blueberry mixture in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, stir together the 1-1/2 cups sugar and flour. Gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook for 1 minute more.

3. In a chilled large mixing bowl, best the 3 cups whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold the shipped cream into the chilled milk mixture. Spoon mixture into the freezer. (The can should be no more than two-thirds full.) Freeze the ice cream according to manufacturer's directions. Using a sturdy rubber spatula, fold in the blueberry mixture, remaining orange peel, and, if you like, the pecans until just swirled. Ripen; transfer to the freezer container. Freeze to store. Makes about 2 quarts (16 to 18 serving).
