Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 cups raspberries fresh or frozen (thawed if frozen)

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine the water and granulated sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly.
  • Place the raspberries and salt into a blender. Pour the cooled sugar syrup over the raspberries and blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
  • Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove raspberry seeds. Discard the solids.
  • Cover the strained mixture and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. For best results, the mixture may be refrigerated overnight.
  • Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, approximately 20 minutes, until thickened to a soft sorbet consistency.
  • For a firmer texture, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2 hours before serving.
