Blueberry Sorbet recipe:

Ingredients

1 small lemon or half of a large one

1 ⅔ cups (350 g) sugar
2 pounds (1 kg) blueberries, fresh or frozen

Directions:

  • Trim the ends off the lemon and cut in half. Remove the seeds and chop the lemon into chunks.
  • Puree the lemon and sugar in a food processor and puree until very smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Put the berries in the food processor bowl and puree, then stir into the lemon mixture until blended.
  • If you want a smoother sorbet without bits of blueberry and lemon, push the mixture through a strainer. Otherwise, pour into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the directions of your machine.
  • Transfer to a container and store in the freezer until ready to serve.
