Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse the fresh strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut them into halves.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, blueberries, orange juice, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Pour the berry-citrus puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the seeds and pulp left in the sieve.
Add the granulated sugar to the strained puree and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly cold.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the sherbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up to a scoopable consistency.
To serve, scoop the Citrus Berry Sherbet into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately!
