Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh raspberries
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Place the fresh raspberries in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Once the sugar syrup is cooled, add it to the raspberry puree along with the lemon juice and salt. Blend again to combine, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove seeds. Use a spatula to press through as much juice and pulp as possible. Discard the seeds.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours until chilled.
Transfer the chilled raspberry mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm before serving.
To serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
