Prepare the Raspberries:
Wash the raspberries thoroughly under cold running water.
Pat them dry gently with a paper towel.
Make the Raspberry Puree:
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh raspberries and sugar.
Blend until you achieve a smooth puree.
Create the Simple Syrup:
In a saucepan, combine water and sugar.
Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
Combine and Enhance:
In a mixing bowl, combine the raspberry puree, simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice.
Mix well to ensure a homogeneous blend of flavors.
Strain (Optional):
If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the mixture using a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. This step is optional, depending on your preference.
Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2–3 hours, allowing it to chill thoroughly.
Churn in Ice Cream Maker:
Transfer the chilled raspberry mixture to your ice cream maker.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the sorbet until it reaches a smooth, frozen consistency.
Transfer to Freezer:
Once churned, transfer the sorbet into an airtight container.
Freeze for an additional 3–4 hours or until firm.
Serve and Enjoy:
Scoop the raspberry sorbet into bowls or cones.
Garnish with fresh raspberries or mint leaves for an extra touch.
