How to Make Universal Sorbet

  1. In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a boil.
  2. Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a separate bowl to cool completely.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently combine 4 cups of your chosen fruit juice (or smoothie/alcopop) with 1 cup of the cooled simple syrup. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  4. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 25-30 minutes). The mixture should thicken considerably.
  5. Once churned, use a rubber spatula to transfer the sorbet to freezer-safe containers. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
