Refreshing Blackberry Sorbet
Dive into a blissful summer escape with this vibrant blackberry sorbet! Bursting with the natural sweetness of ripe blackberries, every spoonful is a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavors, perfectly complemented by a splash of zesty lemon juice. This sorbet not only cools you down on a hot day, but its stunning deep purple hue makes it a feast for the eyes as well. Originating from ancient Middle Eastern and Italian traditions, where crushed snow and flavored syrups created the first frozen delights, this modern take honors those roots while showcasing the pure, fresh ingredients of today. Serve it in a chilled bowl or cone for an unforgettable indulgence!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Fresh blackberries
- 4 cups, washed and stems removed
- Granulated sugar
- 1 cup
- Water
- 1 cup
- Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely.
- While the syrup cools, place the fresh blackberries in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If you desire an ultra-smooth texture, strain the blackberry puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberry puree, cooled syrup, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well until everything is thoroughly mixed and the flavors meld together.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the sorbet to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, let it freeze overnight.
- Once ready, scoop the blackberry sorbet into chilled bowls or cones, and enjoy this refreshing treat! Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of lemon zest for an added burst of flavor.
