Sensational Homemade Sorbet...


I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! It finally feels like Summer has arrived here in Southern California just as Fall is about to sneak in upon us! I'm in the mood for sorbet and if you are too, give this recipe a try. It can be concocted in the blink of an eye using ingredients you most likely have on hand. You can also make it with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or melon.

Ingredients:
2 pints raspberries, washed and hulled
1 1/3 cups simple syrup*
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Purée the raspberries in a food processor. This should yield about three cups.
Stir one cup of the simple syrup and the lemon juice into the puree.
Taste and add remaining syrup if necessary. Pour the mixture into a bowl and freeze for about two hours.

* To make simple syrup, combine two parts water and one part sugar in a small sauce pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and wait until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool.

Tip: Garnish with fresh raspberries and/or mint leaves.
