Items needed to answer the question, how do I achieve the perfect sorbet texture. Items include: Fresh Fruit Granulated Sugar Water Fresh Lemon Juice

Fresh Fruit 2 cups
Granulated Sugar 1 cup
Water 1 cup
Fresh Lemon Juice 1 tablespoon

Take note
Be cautious when handling sharp objects, such as knives. Make sure to follow the instructions for your specific ice cream maker, if using.

1

Gathering the Ingredients

First, gather all the necessary ingredients: 2 cups of fresh fruit (of your choice), 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.

2

Preparing the Fruit

Wash and chop the fruit into smaller pieces, removing any stems or pits. The size of the pieces will depend on the type of fruit you're using.

3

Creating the Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will create a simple syrup.

4

Blending the Fruit

Place the chopped fruit in a blender or food processor. Add the fresh lemon juice. Blend the mixture until smooth.

5

Mixing the Sorbet Base

Pour the simple syrup into the blended fruit mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring the syrup is evenly distributed.

6

Chilling the Mixture

Transfer the sorbet base into a container and cover it. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

7

Churning the Sorbet

If you have an ice cream maker, pour the chilled sorbet base into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and proceed to the next step.

8

Freezing the Sorbet

If not using an ice cream maker, place the container with the sorbet base in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, remove it and stir vigorously with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process for about 2-3 hours or until the sorbet reaches the desired consistency.
