How to Make Blackberry Sorbet

  1. Combine 4 cups of fresh blackberries, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries have softened and released their juices (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
  4. Once cooled, transfer the blackberry mixture to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds (optional, but recommended for a smoother sorbet).
  6. Pour the strained blackberry puree into a shallow freezer-safe container.
  7. Freeze for 1 hour.
  8. Remove from the freezer and churn with a fork or whisk to break up any ice crystals.
  9. Return to the freezer for another hour.
  10. Repeat steps 7 and 8 two more times for a smoother texture.
  11. For a creamier sorbet, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the puree before freezing (optional).
  12. Once the sorbet is completely frozen (at least 4-6 hours), let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.
