Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely, then remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Step 2: In a blender, combine 1 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 cup fresh blueberries, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the mixture with a spoon to extract all liquid.
  3. Step 3: Stir the cooled sugar syrup into the strained lemon-blueberry mixture until fully incorporated and the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Step 4: Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish and freeze for 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals until the texture is uniformly smooth and slushy.
  5. Step 5: Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly and achieve a scoopable consistency.
