3. Step 3: Pour the blueberry mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet is thick and smooth.
4. Step 4: Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
