Sorbet Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Lemon Sorbet Base

    In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Add Lemon Juice and Zest

    Once the sugar water has cooled, add the juice of 2 cups of fresh lemons and the lemon zest. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Freeze the Lemon Mixture

    Pour the lemon mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes until it reaches a fluffy consistency, about 2-3 hours.

  4. 4

    Prepare Raspberry Sorbet Base

    In a blender, puree 2 cups of fresh raspberries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.

  5. 5

    Combine Raspberry Puree

    Mix the raspberry puree with the remaining sugar syrup (1 cup) and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.

  6. 6

    Freeze the Raspberry Mixture

    Pour the raspberry mixture into another shallow dish and freeze. Stir every 30 minutes until it reaches a fluffy consistency, about 2-3 hours.

  7. 7

    Serve the Sorbet

    Once both sorbets are ready, scoop them into serving bowls. You can layer them for a beautiful presentation.
