1
Make the Ice Cream Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.
2
Add Flavorings
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
3
Chill the Base
Once cooled, refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight to ensure it is very cold. This step is essential for creamy ice cream.
4
Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
5
Freeze
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.

6
Prepare the Fruit Puree
In a blender, puree the fresh fruit until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp if desired.
7
Make the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow to cool.
8
Combine and Chill
Mix the fruit puree with the cooled syrup and add lemon juice. Stir well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
9
Churn the Sorbet
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it has a fluffy texture.
10
Freeze
Transfer the churned sorbet to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
