Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Simple Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 cups of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Prepare the Fruit Puree
While the simple syrup is cooling, prepare your chosen fruit. If using whole fruit, wash, peel (if necessary), and chop into smaller pieces. Blend the fruit in a food processor or blender until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture.
Mixing

Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled simple syrup, fruit puree, lemon juice, and any optional ingredients (such as fresh herbs, vanilla extract, or salt). Mix well until fully combined.
Freezing

Freeze the Mixture
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer.

Stir and Freeze
If using the shallow dish method, stir the mixture every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to break up any ice crystals, until fully frozen (about 4-6 hours total).
