Berry Sorbet


Ingredients:

2 cups of  fruit puree (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or a combination of berries)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
2 Tbsp. vodka


Preparation:

  • Cook 2 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar for about 7 minutes. Set aside to chill completely.
  • Clean and wash the berries and process in the blender or food processor to make puree, strain if necessary.
  • Measure 2 cups of puree and pour to a large bowl. Add sugar syrup, vodka and lemon juice. Mix well and chill for about 1 hour.
  • Pour mixture into ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's directions.

NOTE:  About 2 pounds of ripe berries will give approximate two cups of puree.

Makes 4-6 servings.

TIP: If processing berries in the blender or food processor, add 1/3 cup of water to the blender or food processor. That will help you to make a more smooth mixture.

If processing berries with seeds like blackberries or raspberries, it is a good idea to strain them to remove little seeds.
