Fruit Base
Optional Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Fruit Base
Wash and Prepare the Fruit
Rinse the fresh seasonal fruit under cold water. Remove any stems, pits, or seeds as necessary. Cut the fruit into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
Blend the Mixture
In a blender, combine the prepared fruit, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Strain the Mixture (Optional)
If you prefer a smoother sorbet, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any pulp or seeds.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to chill.
Freezing the Sorbet
Prepare the Freezer Container
Choose a shallow, airtight container to help the sorbet freeze evenly. You can also use an ice cream maker if available.
Transfer the Mixture
Pour the chilled fruit mixture into the prepared container. If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing.
Freeze the Sorbet
Place the container in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the sorbet is firm.
Fluff and Serve
Once frozen, use a fork to fluff the sorbet before serving. Scoop into bowls and garnish with mint leaves and lemon zest if desired.
