Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup cold water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Step 2: In a blender, add 4 cups frozen mixed wild berries, cooled sugar syrup, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 10 fresh mint leaves. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Pour the berry mixture into a shallow metal pan and freeze for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove from freezer and stir vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals, returning to freezer afterward.
  4. Step 4: Repeat the stirring every 30 minutes for 2 hours until the sorbet is firm and scoopable. Serve garnished with a mint leaf and extra lemon zest if desired.
