Description
A refreshing homemade blackberry sorbet that combines the natural sweetness of blackberries with a hint of lime juice, creating a smooth and vibrant frozen dessert perfect for warm days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 lb blackberries
- 1 1/2 tbsp lime juice (or more/less to taste, can also use lemon)
Instructions
- Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely without bringing to a simmer. Remove from heat once dissolved and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Wash the blackberries thoroughly. Place them in a blender or food processor and blend until broken down. Press the mixture through a fine strainer to extract juice and pulp, discarding seeds and solids.
- Mix the strained blackberry puree with the cooled sugar syrup and lime juice. Stir well to combine, then refrigerate for at least one hour or preferably overnight to chill thoroughly.
- Following your ice cream maker’s instructions, pour the chilled mixture into the machine and churn for about 20 minutes until it reaches a soft-scoop consistency.
- Transfer the sorbet to a container and freeze for 2 to 3 hours or until firm for longer storage. Before serving, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for easier scooping.
Notes
- Adjust lime juice to your taste.
- Store in the freezer for up to a month.
