Preparation Steps
Prepare the Fruit
Wash, peel, and chop the fresh fruit into small pieces. Place them in a blender or food processor.
Make the Fruit Puree
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the fruit in the blender. Blend until smooth and well combined. If you want a smoother texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds or pulp.
Combine Ice Cream Base
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Mix Together
If making sorbet, pour the fruit puree into a container and freeze for about 4-6 hours until firm. If making ice cream, add the fruit puree to the cream mixture and stir until just combined.
Churn (for Ice Cream)
If making ice cream, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freeze
Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
