Step 2
Halve the apricots and remove the pits. Place the apricot halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the apricots to help caramelize them during roasting.

Transfer the roasted apricots to a blender or food processor. Add the honey, lemon juice, and water.

Blend the mixture until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Step 7
Taste the purée and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more honey or sugar to your preference.
Step 8
Pour the apricot purée into an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until thoroughly cold.
Step 9
Process the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a smooth, sorbet-like consistency.
Step 10
Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
