Fruit Base
Simple Syrup
Optional Additions
Method
Prepare Simple Syrup
Combine sugar and water
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Once dissolved, bring the mixture to a gentle boil for 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Prepare Fruit Base
Clean and chop the seasonal fruit into small pieces. Measure out 4 cups.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped fruit and fresh lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
Optional: If the fruit has seeds or a fibrous texture, strain the purée through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids.
Combine and Flavor
Once the simple syrup has cooled, add it to the fruit purée and stir to combine thoroughly.
If using, stir in the chopped mint leaves and lime zest at this point.
Freeze and Serve
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20–25 minutes, until it reaches a smooth and scoopable consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes for easier scooping.
