Ingredients

Raspberry Sorbet Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Make Sugar Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  2. Prepare Raspberry Puree: Place fresh raspberries and lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth to create a vibrant raspberry puree.
  3. Strain Seeds: Pour the raspberry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently to remove seeds and achieve a smooth texture.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Stir the strained raspberry puree into the cooled sugar syrup, mixing thoroughly until well combined.
  5. Churn Sorbet: Pour the combined mixture into an ice cream maker and churn following the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  6. Freeze to Firm: Transfer the sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up before serving.
  7. Serve: Scoop the frozen sorbet into bowls or cones and enjoy the bright, refreshing raspberry flavor.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, ensure the sugar syrup is fully cooled before mixing with the raspberry puree.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until firm.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to taste.
  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best vibrant flavor and color.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and ice crystals.
