Ingredients
Scale
Raspberry Mixture
- 4 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Sugar Syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Make the Sugar Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
- Prepare Raspberry Puree: Add the raspberries and lemon juice to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. For a smoother texture without seeds, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the seeds.
- Combine Mixture: Once the sugar syrup has cooled, add it to the raspberry puree and mix thoroughly to ensure an even sweetness and consistency.
- Churn the Sorbet: Pour the raspberry mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for 20-30 minutes, until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze to Firm Up: Transfer the churned sorbet into a sealed container. Freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up the texture before serving.
Notes
- Using fresh raspberries will yield the best flavor, but frozen raspberries work well if thawed completely.
- Straining the puree removes seeds and creates a smoother sorbet, but it is optional if you prefer a rustic texture.
- Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of your raspberries and personal preference.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until firm, to reduce iciness.
- Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
