Sherbet Ingredients

Method

Sherbet Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruit

    Wash the fresh fruit thoroughly. If using lemons, juice them to get the required lemon juice. For strawberries or raspberries, blend them until smooth.

  2. 2

    Make the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the fruit puree, lemon juice, salt, and the cooled syrup. Mix thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Add Heavy Cream

    Gently fold in the heavy cream until well combined.

  5. 5

    Chill the Mixture

    Pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for about 2 hours.

  6. 6

    Whip and Refreeze

    After 2 hours, remove the container from the freezer and stir the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Return to the freezer for another 2-3 hours until fully set.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Scoop the sherbet into bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing homemade sherbet!
