How to Make Berry Sherbet

  1. Combine 2 cups mixed frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries – your choice!), 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed, adding more sugar if desired.
  3. **Method 1 (Ice Cream Maker):** Churn the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. **Method 2 (Freezing):** Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. For a smoother texture, stir the sherbet halfway through the freezing process.
