Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cool running water, removing any stems or damaged pieces.
- Pat the berries dry with clean paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Place the berries into a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water to the berries in the blender.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for 2-3 minutes until completely smooth and no large berry chunks remain.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any seeds, pressing gently with a spatula to extract all liquid.
- Transfer the strained berry mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the freezer.
- Freeze for approximately 4-6 hours, removing and stirring with a fork every hour to break up ice crystals and ensure smooth texture.
- When the sorbet reaches a scoopable consistency, serve immediately in chilled dessert bowls.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves or additional whole berries before serving.
Tips

- Use a chilled bowl when serving to keep the sorbet at the perfect consistency
- If you don't have a food processor, a blender works just as well
