Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh raspberries or red currants
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the raspberries or red currants under cold water and drain well.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved to make a simple syrup (takes about 3-5 minutes). Let it cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Place the raspberries or red currants in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the blended fruit mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove seeds, using a spoon to press the liquid through. Discard the solids left in the sieve.
Step 5
Mix the strained fruit puree with the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.
Step 7
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 8
Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 3 hours to firm up before serving.
Step 9
Serve in bowls or cones, garnished with fresh berries or mint leaves if desired.
