    Step 1:

    Start by preparing a simple syrup with the water and sweetener. Place the water and the sweetener in a medium size saucepan set over medium-low heat. Cook mixture until the sweetener is fully dissolved.

    Step 2:

    Add the salt and the raspberries. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. 

    Step 3:

    Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. It is helpful to use a wooden spoon or spatula to aid in passing the purée through the strainer.

    Step 4:

    Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight.

    Step 5:

    Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into the ice cream maker and let it churn for approximately 20 minutes until the sorbet has a soft, creamy texture.

    Step 6:

    If a firmer consistency is preferred, transfer the sorbet into an airtight container and freeze it for a couple hours. Remove the container from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving.

    Expert Tips

    • Use ripe raspberries. Using ripe raspberries will result in a sweeter and more flavorful sorbet. If the raspberries are not quite ripe, add a bit more monk fruit sweetener to compensate.
    • Chill the mixture before churning. It's important to chill the mixture before churning it in the ice cream maker. This will help ensure that the sorbet freezes properly and has a smooth texture.
    • Soften the sorbet before serving. If the sorbet has been stored in the freezer for a while, it may be a bit hard. Let it sit out on the counter for a few minutes to soften before serving.
    • Experiment with different flavors. Feel free to experiment with different flavors by adding different fruits or extracts. You can also try using different sweeteners, like stevia or erythritol, in place of the monk fruit sweetener.

    Variations

    • Different fruits: Try using different fruits, like strawberries, blackberries, or mixed berries, for a different flavor.
    • Herbs and spices: Add a touch of herbs, like mint or basil, or spices, like cinnamon or cardamom, for a unique twist.
    • Yogurt or cream: Add a dollop of yogurt or a splash of cream for a richer, creamier sorbet.

    Storing

    Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container. Cover the surface of the sorbet with plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent freezer burn. Most sorbets will stay fresh for up to 2-3 months. However, it's best to consume the sorbet within the first month to ensure maximum flavor and texture.

      Absolutely perfect for this weather. Sorbet is so refreshing and raspberries, so delicious. I'm making and eating rather too much ice-cream at the moment, it's just so hot! But something a little lighter is no bad idea.

      I just went to the local ice cream store, to find the shelves basically bare. I think I will make this instead. I know it will be a hit with the grankids.
