Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15-20 oz) Canned fruit (e.g., peaches, pineapple, or mixed fruit)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Drain the canned fruit, reserving 3 tablespoons of the syrup or juice from the can (you can discard the rest of the syrup).
In a blender or food processor, combine the drained canned fruit, reserved syrup, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary, blending again briefly.
Pour the blended fruit mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly.
Freeze the mixture for 2-3 hours or until it begins to firm up but is still scoopable.
Once firm, use a fork or spoon to stir the mixture to break up any ice crystals, then return to the freezer for another hour.
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and enjoy immediately!
