Homemade Fruit Sorbet

A quick and easy recipe for refreshing homemade fruit sorbet using seasonal fruits.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of fresh fruit (strawberries, mango, lemon, etc.)
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare your fruit: Start by washing your chosen fruit under cold running water. Remove stems and cut strawberries in half. For mango, slice off the skin and scoop flesh from the pit.
  2. Cook the simple syrup: Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. This takes about 3-5 minutes. Allow cooling.
  3. Blend the fruit: In your blender, add the prepared fruit, cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and salt. Blend on high until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed.
  4. Taste and adjust: Taste your mixture, adding more sugar or lemon juice if needed, and blend again.
  5. Chill it: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or ice cream maker. Cover and freeze, or follow your ice cream maker’s instructions.
  6. Stir and freeze: If using a shallow dish, stir the sorbet every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals.
  7. Scoop and serve: After at least 4 hours in the freezer, scoop into bowls and enjoy!

Notes

For a tropical twist, swap strawberries for mango and add coconut milk. Stir every 30 minutes if using the shallow dish to avoid iciness.
