1
Prepare the Fruit
Wash and chop the fresh fruit into small pieces. If using citrus, juice the fruit and remove any seeds.
2
Make Sugar Syrup
In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
3
Blend Ingredients
In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, cooled sugar syrup, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
4
Chill the Mixture
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
5
Freeze the Sorbet
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until firm.
6
Serve
Once the sorbet is frozen to your liking, scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately.
