This is such a welcomed treat on a hot summer day. If you don't want to make your own there are so many great store-bought varieties or go to your local ice cream store, they probably carry sorbet.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 cups Water
  • Zest & Juice of Two Lemons
  • 6 cups Ice
  • 2 cups Fresh Lemon Juice (to be added if too sweet)
  • Strawberries (washed and dried)
  • Blueberries (washed and dried)

Instructions
 

Lemon Simple Syrup

  • In a saucepan place Sugar, Water, Lemon Zest and Lemon Juice and bring to a boil.
  • Let syrup boil for 1-2 minutes then reduce to simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool and thicken.

Ice

  • If you cannot get shaved or crushed ice, in a strong blender or food processor place ice (probably half at a time).
  • Pulse to crush then add ½ the lemon simple syrup and blend. Repeat with the rest of the ice and syrup.
  • Blend together and taste to adjust sweetness and lemon. Add more fresh Lemon Juice if too sweet and a bit more sugar if too tart.
  • Freeze in a plastic container scraping every ½ hour until you have a smooth sorbet, or finish using an ice cream machine running to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. Freeze until ready to serve.
  • Serve with Strawberries and Blueberries to stay true to the color scheme.
