Berry Sorbet is a delightful, refreshing treat that's perfect for hot summer days. Packed with the vibrant flavors of mixed berries, it's an easy dessert that captures the essence of the season. Plus, it's a breeze to make with just a handful of ingredients!
Strawberries bring sweetness and a lovely, vibrant color to the sorbet. Blueberries add a touch of tangy depth and are rich in antioxidants. Raspberries offer a tart contrast that balances the flavors beautifully, while blackberries introduce a rich, wine-like complexity. Lemon juice brightens everything up, enhancing the natural flavors of the berries. Water helps to blend everything smoothly. Finally, honey provides a natural sweetness that harmonizes with the berries without overpowering them.
This Berry Sorbet is delightful on its own but can be paired with a variety of treats. Serve it in a chilled glass for a fancy touch, or add a scoop to a bowl of fresh fruit for a refreshing dessert. Pair it with a crisp white wine or a summer cocktail for a truly indulgent experience. For a fun twist, top with a few fresh mint leaves or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate.
Start by preparing your berries. Make sure to hull and halve the strawberries and give all the berries a good rinse under cold water. Once they're clean, toss the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries into your blender. Add the lemon juice, water, and honey right on top.
Secure the lid and blend everything on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. You might need to stop the blender once or twice to scrape down the sides, ensuring every bit of berry is pureed. If you prefer a seed-free sorbet, pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spatula to extract as much juice as possible.
Next, pour the smooth purée into a shallow container. An 8x8 inch dish works well here. Cover it with a lid or tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 4 hours or until the sorbet is solid.
When you're ready to serve, take the sorbet out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. This makes scooping much easier and gives you a perfectly scoopable texture.
