Raspberry Lemon Sorbet

This sorbet is great for cooling off on a hot day because it has both the sweetness of raspberries and the sourness of fresh lemon juice.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions:

Over medium heat, stir water and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves

This will make a simple syrup

Leave it alone until its cool enough to touch

Put raspberries, simple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a blender

Mix until its smooth

Put the mix through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of the pulp and seeds

Put the strained mixture into an ice cream maker and churn it according to the machines directions until it gets the consistency of sorbet

Put the sorbet in a container that can go in the freezer

Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm

If you want, you can serve the sorbet in bowls or cones and top them with fresh raspberries or lemon slices
