📋 RECIPE AT A GLANCE

Detail	Time / Amount
Prep time	10 minutes
Freeze time	3–4 hours (or overnight)
Cook time	0 minutes
Total time	4 hours (mostly hands-off)
Yield	4 cups (6–8 servings)

🥄 ESSENTIAL UTENSILS YOU’LL NEED

High-speed blender or food processor
Fine mesh sieve (optional, for smoother sorbet)
Silicone spatula
Loaf pan or freezer-safe container with lid
Ice cream scoop or sturdy spoon
Measuring cups and spoons
Citrus juicer (or strong hands!)

🫐 INGREDIENTS

3 cups mixed organic berries (fresh or frozen – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
⅓ to ½ cup maple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
1–2 tablespoons filtered water (only if needed to help blend)

💡 Tip: Frozen berries blend just as well and chill the sorbet faster — great for out-of-season prep!

🍧 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Add Ingredients to Blender

Place the berries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and zest into your high-speed blender or food processor. Start with ⅓ cup of sweetener and adjust to taste later.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides.
If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time just to loosen it — but be careful not to overdo it, or it will turn icy when frozen.

✅ Taste the blended mixture and adjust the sweetness now before freezing.

Step 3: (Optional) Strain for a Smoother Texture

For a seedless sorbet (especially with raspberries or blackberries), pour the blended puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Use a spatula to press through all the liquid. Discard any leftover seeds or pulp.

Step 4: Transfer to a Container

Pour the smooth puree into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Spread evenly with a spatula and cover tightly with a lid or foil. Lay parchment or wax paper directly on the surface to minimize ice crystals.

Step 5: Freeze Until Firm

Place in the freezer for 3–4 hours or until firm enough to scoop. For best results, freeze overnight.

If your sorbet becomes very firm, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften before scooping.

Step 6: Scoop & Serve

Use a sturdy ice cream scoop to serve in bowls, cones, or fancy dessert glasses. Garnish with fresh mint, a wedge of lemon, or a drizzle of honey.

⚠️ COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID

Adding too much liquid: Stick to minimal water. Too much = icy texture.
Not tasting before freezing: Berries vary in tartness — always taste and sweeten as needed.
Skipping the freeze time: Sorbet needs time to firm up. Don’t rush the chill!

🌿 VARIATIONS & CUSTOMIZATIONS

Make it your own:

Add herbs: Mint or basil add a fresh twist (just 4–5 leaves blended in).
Coconut creaminess: Blend in ¼ cup coconut milk for a creamier tropical texture.
Stone fruit mix: Add cherries, peaches, or plums for a seasonal swap.
Adult version: Add 1 tablespoon of Chambord, limoncello, or vodka — enhances scoopability!

🍽️ SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Serve in chilled martini glasses with lemon zest
Add coconut whipped cream and toasted coconut
Make mini sorbet sandwiches with gluten-free cookies
Top with crushed pistachios or cacao nibs
Add a scoop to sparkling water or Prosecco for a sorbet float

❓FAQ + TROUBLESHOOTING

Can I use only strawberries or blueberries?
Absolutely — just keep the total amount to 3 cups.

Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Yes, if you’re not strictly vegan. You can also try date syrup or stevia.

How long does it last in the freezer?
About 1 month in a tightly sealed container. Lay parchment on the surface to reduce freezer burn.

Why is my sorbet rock-hard?
This is normal after long freezing. Let it thaw on the counter for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
