Preparation and Cooking Time

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Cooling Time: 2 hours

Total Time: 2 hours and 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh redcurrants
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the fruit by rinsing the raspberries and redcurrants under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. Blend the raspberries and redcurrants in a blender or food processor until smooth.
4. Strain the blended fruit through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
5. Mix the fruit puree with the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.
6. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until it is thoroughly cold.
7. Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
8. Freeze the sorbet in an airtight container for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.

Additional Notes

For a more intense flavor, you can add a splash of raspberry liqueur to the mixture before churning. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
