Raspberry Sorbet

Homemade sorbet

I really enjoy making (and eating) sorbet. They are so fresh tasting and aren't heavy at all. They make a great dessert or sweet treat.

When I was in college, I worked in a restaurant. We always had 1-2 different types of sorbet available. They have been a favorite of mine since then.

Some sorbets that I have made include a lemon sorbet, apricot sorbet, grapefruit sorbet and a watermelon sorbet. I don't have a favorite...I love them all!!!

Sorbet is similar to a sherbet, the difference being sorbet just has the fruit along with some sort of a sweetner and sherbet has added milk making it slightly creamy.

Key ingredients

A basket with raspberries next to a fresh lemon and a bowl of sugar.
  • Raspberries - fresh or frozen work well in this recipe
  • Sugar - granulated sugar
  • Lemon juice - fresh squeezed is best

Step by step directions

  • Place hot tap water, lemon juice and sugar in a bowl
  • Mix until sugar is completely dissolved. This will take a few minutes. You can let it set for a few minutes and then stir again.
  • Place raspberries in a food processor and process until all berries are pureed
Sugar syrup in a glass measuring cup.
Fresh raspberries in a food processor bowl.
  • Strain berries in a fine mesh sieve to remove all seeds. Use the bottom of soup ladle or a spatula to move raspberries through sieve
  • Discard seeds
  • Add dissolved sugar mixture to raspberry puree and stir to combine
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until chilled through
  • Churn in an electric ice cream maker until mixture is frozen, about 20 minutes
  • Remove sorbet from ice cream bowl into a freezer safe bowl
  • Place in freezer for 2-4 hours to harden sorbet before serving

Recipe tips

  • Make certain your ice cream freezer bowl is fully frozen at least 12 hours before churning
  • If your sugar isn't dissolving, you can place in the microwave for 15-30 seconds
  • Chill you mixture well before churning, at least 2 hours or use quick chill method
    • Place bowl with sorbet mixture in an ice water bath for 20-30 minutes until well chilled
    • If you have an extra freezer bowl, place sorbet mixture in frozen bowl and churn for 10 minutes. Then remove from the 1st bowl and place in the 2nd bowl. Churn for 20 minutes. The first bowl is used just to chill down the mixture.
  • The sorbet will still be soft right after churning. Be certain to harden or cure it for a few hours in the freezer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this sorbet with other berries?

Yes, blackberries can also be used to make this sorbet.

How long will sorbet last in the freezer?

If sorbet is stored in a deep freezer, it will maintain a good quality for 2-4 months.

      Hi Peggy,
      I have not used monk sugar before so I don't know how it works in different recipes.
