Ingredients

• 4 cups Mixed summer fruits (e.g., strawberries, peaches, mango, raspberries)
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 sprigs Optional: Mint leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare the summer fruits by hulling strawberries, peeling peaches or mangoes, and removing any seeds if necessary.

Step 2

Cut the fruits into smaller pieces if needed, then measure out 4 cups of mixed fruit.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water to make a simple syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar completely dissolves. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, puree the prepared fruits until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the fruit puree into a fine-mesh sieve placed over a large bowl. Use a spatula to press the puree through the sieve to remove pulp and seeds, leaving you with a smooth fruit mixture.

Step 6

Stir the cooled simple syrup and fresh lemon juice into the fruit puree until well combined.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 8

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish, cover, and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals until the sorbet is fully frozen, about 3-4 hours.

Step 9

Scoop the sorbet into bowls and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping if it becomes too firm.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with mint leaves before serving for an extra touch of freshness.
