Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh raspberries
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
1. Thoroughly rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and then drain them well.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries, water, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
3. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and the raspberries are completely pureed.
4. Place a fine-mesh sieve over a large bowl and pour the raspberry puree through it to remove the seeds, pressing down with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.
5. Discard the seeds and pour the raspberry mixture into an ice cream maker.
6. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on your ice cream maker to churn the sorbet until it achieves a smooth, semi-frozen consistency; this usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
7. If you prefer a firmer sorbet, transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container and place it in the freezer for an additional 1-2 hours.
8. Prior to serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
9. Serve the sorbet in chilled bowls or glasses and enjoy your heart-healthy treat!
