Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh raspberries
- 240 milliliters water
- 60 grams honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly rinsing the fresh raspberries under cold water. Drain them and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and honey. Heat over low flame, stirring until the honey fully dissolves and the mixture is slightly warm. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Place the raspberries in a blender or food processor. Add the cooled honey water, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt.
Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth puree. If desired, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the raspberry seeds, using a spatula to press the pulp through.
Pour the smooth raspberry mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes, until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and enjoy!
