Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh fruit of your choice (e.g., strawberries, mangoes, or peaches)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
1. Start by washing and preparing your fruit. If you're using larger fruits like mangoes or peaches, peel and remove any seeds or pits. For smaller berries, remove stems.
2. Cut the fruit into small chunks and place them in an airtight container. Freeze the fruit for at least 4-6 hours or until completely frozen.
3. In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water to make a simple syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
4. Once the fruit is frozen and the syrup has cooled, transfer the frozen fruit to a food processor or blender.
5. Add the simple syrup and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
6. Taste and adjust the sweetness, adding a little more simple syrup or lemon juice if desired.
7. Transfer the sorbet mixture to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
8. Freeze the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until it firms up to your desired consistency.
9. Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
10. Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade sorbet!
