Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh blueberries
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water and drain them well.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat while stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved, forming a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Place the blueberries in a blender or food processor along with the cooled simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any residual skins or seeds.
Step 5
Transfer the blueberry puree to a lidded container and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it is well chilled.
Step 6
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a sorbet consistency.
Step 7
If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir with a fork every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals and ensure a smooth texture.
Step 8
Once the sorbet has frozen to your desired consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours to firm up, if necessary.
Step 9
Serve the blueberry sorbet in bowls or cones and enjoy immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to one week.
