Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups wild blackberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vodka (optional, for smoother texture)
Instructions
Rinse the blackberries thoroughly under cold running water to remove any debris. Drain well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Place the blackberries in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a puree.
Strain the blackberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large mixing bowl, pressing with a spatula to extract the juice and remove seeds. Discard the seeds and pulp.
Stir the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and optional vodka into the strained blackberry juice until well combined.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet reaches a smooth, scoopable consistency.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for 1 hour, then stir with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until the sorbet is smooth.
Once the sorbet has reached the desired texture, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 more hours to set.
Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Wild Blackberry Sorbet!
