Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh fruit (such as berries, mango, or watermelon)
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 120 milliliters water
Instructions
Prepare the fruit by washing, peeling (if necessary), and cutting it into small chunks.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely to create a simple syrup. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, add the fruit chunks, cooled simple syrup, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
Strain the fruit puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any seeds or pulp. Discard the solids.
Transfer the smooth fruit mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container.
Place the container in the freezer and stir the mixture with a fork every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals and achieve a smooth texture.
Once the sorbet is fully frozen (after about 4-6 hours), scoop and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer in an airtight container.
