Ingredients
- 3 cups wild blackberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vodka (optional, for smoother texture)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the blackberries thoroughly under cold running water to remove any debris. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Place the blackberries in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a puree.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Stir the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and optional vodka into the strained blackberry juice until well combined.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once the sorbet has reached the desired texture, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 more hours to set.
Step 9
Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Wild Blackberry Sorbet!
