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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
4. Once the fruit is frozen and the syrup has cooled, transfer the frozen fruit to a food processor or blender.
Step 5
5. Add the simple syrup and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 6
6. Taste and adjust the sweetness, adding a little more simple syrup or lemon juice if desired.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
8. Freeze the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until it firms up to your desired consistency.
Step 9
9. Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
