Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Cups Fresh or Frozen Raspberries
  • 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 Cup Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Small Pinch of Salt

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Blend the Berries: Place raspberries, lemon juice, and salt into a blender. Add the cooled simple syrup and blend until smooth.
  3. Strain the Mixture (Optional): Pour the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds if desired.
  4. Chill the Base: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours.
  5. Churn the Sorbet: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions for about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Final Freeze: Transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least four hours until firm.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before blending. For a smoother texture, strain the mixture to remove seeds.
