- Sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Water
- 1/2 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped nectarines, raspberries, cooled simple syrup, and lemon juice.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- 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 to firm up to your desired texture.
- Serve the nectarine and raspberry sorbet in bowls or cones, garnished with fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch.
Tips
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, consider adding an extra cup of raspberries.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze it, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- Feel free to substitute other fruits, such as peaches or strawberries, for a different flavor profile.
