Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Blend the Blueberries: In a blender, combine the blueberries, cooled syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
- Chill the Mixture: Pour the blueberry mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until it's very cold.
- Freeze the Sorbet: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 2-3 hours.
- Serve: Scoop the sorbet into bowls and enjoy on its own or with fresh blueberries on top.
