Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes

Servings: 6

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh blackberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup water
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
• Assorted fresh berries, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Blend until smooth.
2. Add the sugar, honey, lemon juice, and water to the berry puree. Blend again until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing with a spatula to remove seeds and pulp, ensuring a smooth texture.
4. Transfer the strained puree into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 25-30 minutes).
5. Once the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
6. Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and assorted fresh berries.

Helpful Tips

• Variation: You can mix in a dash of vanilla extract or replace honey with agave syrup for a different flavor profile.
• Tips for Beginners: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the berry mixture into a shallow baking dish and freeze. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes until it reaches a smooth consistency.
• Storage: Store the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
• Substitutions: If you prefer, you can use frozen berries – just let them thaw before blending.
