Ingredients

  • 3 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon vodka - optional

Instructions

  1. Pulse the berries, sugar, and salt together in a food processor until combined.
  2. With processor running, add the water, juice, and vodka processing until sugar has dissolved.
  3. Strain mixture through a fine meshed strainer into a bowl. Refrigerate until chilled about 1 hour.
  4. Transfer to an ice cream maker and churn for 20-35 minutes until soft in texture.
  5. Freeze until firm. This should take up to 3 hours.

Recipe Notes

The sorbet can be served on it's own because it has such a strong berry flavor. Two scoops per person is satisfying enough. I just decided to add a crunch with a puff pastry palmier because they are so easy to make. I added a touch of mint and sugar to give it a boost. But, you can certainly leave it out.
