Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh raspberries
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Kirsch liqueur
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar completely dissolves, forming a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and pat them dry. Place them into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the raspberry puree into a bowl to remove the seeds, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Stir the cooled simple syrup into the strained raspberry puree. Add the lemon juice and Kirsch liqueur, then mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the sorbet reaches a smooth, scoopable consistency (approximately 20-30 minutes).
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Place it in the freezer, stirring vigorously with a fork every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals, until fully frozen (about 3-4 hours).
Once churned or frozen, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional hour to firm up before serving.
Serve scooped into bowls or glasses, garnished with fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint, if desired.
