Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fruit puree (e.g., strawberry, mango, or raspberry)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Once cool, stir in fruit puree and lemon juice until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Tips
- For a smoother texture, strain the fruit puree to remove seeds or fibers.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until firm.
- Store sorbet in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
