Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut them into halves.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the strawberries, blueberries, orange juice, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Step 3
Pour the berry-citrus puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the seeds and pulp left in the sieve.
Step 4
Add the granulated sugar to the strained puree and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly cold.
Step 7
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the sherbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 8
Transfer the sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up to a scoopable consistency.
Step 9
To serve, scoop the Citrus Berry Sherbet into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately!
