In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture forms a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
While the simple syrup cools, place the fresh raspberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Strain the raspberry puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds.
Stir the cooled simple syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest into the raspberry puree until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturerβs instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for 2-4 hours, or until firm.
Scoop and serve the Raspberry Lemonade Sorbet immediately, garnishing with fresh raspberries or a slice of lemon if desired.
