Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh raspberries
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Place the fresh raspberries in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Step 3
Once the sugar syrup is cooled, add it to the raspberry puree along with the lemon juice and salt. Blend again to combine, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Step 4
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove seeds. Use a spatula to press through as much juice and pulp as possible. Discard the seeds.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours until chilled.
Step 6
Transfer the chilled raspberry mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 7
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm before serving.
Step 8
To serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
