Ingredients
Frozen Strawberries
1 cup (No preparation needed; use as is.)
Frozen Blueberries
2/3 cup (No preparation needed; use as is.)
Lemon Juice
1/4 cup (Freshly squeezed or bottled.)
Water
1 cup (No preparation needed.)
Sugar
2/3 cup (No preparation needed.)
Instructions
1
Begin by making the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Place it over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar completely dissolves. There's no need to bring it to a boil; just warm it enough to facilitate the dissolution. Once dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and set aside to cool.
2
While the syrup is cooling, gather your frozen berries. In a blender, add the cup of frozen strawberries followed by the 2/3 cup of frozen blueberries.
3
Pour in the lemon juice for a zesty flavor that enhances the blueberries and strawberries.
4
Once the syrup has cooled to a comfortable temperature, pour in enough syrup to cover the berries halfway; this typically takes about 1/2 cup. Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth, thick puree. Taste the mixture and, if desired, add more syrup for extra sweetness.
5
Transfer the prepared sorbet to a serving bowl if enjoying immediately, or for later enjoyment, place it in a plastic container. To prevent freezer burn, layer a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap directly touching the sorbet before sealing the container.
6
If you'd like to serve the sorbet later, remember to take it out of the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly before scooping.
