Allergens

Nuts (not included), Gluten (not included)

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Add the mixed berries and lemon juice to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes until the berries release their juices and soften.
3. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove the seeds and skin. Press the fruit to extract as much liquid as possible.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the berry puree for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
5. Transfer the chilled berry puree into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
6. Once the sorbet has reached a soft, scoopable consistency, transfer it to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
