Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the blackberries under cold water and drain well. Place them into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl and pour the blackberry puree through it, pressing with a spatula to extract the juice and discard the seeds. You should have around 1 cup of seedless blackberry puree.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the blackberry puree, granulated sugar, whole milk, heavy cream, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, until it reaches a creamy, soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for 2-4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Serve the blackberry sherbet in bowls or cones and enjoy immediately. Store leftovers in the freezer for up to a week.
