Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until sugar fully dissolves, then remove from heat and cool completely.
  2. Step 2: Thaw 1 cup frozen raspberries at room temperature for 15 minutes. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spoon to extract all liquid and discarding seeds.
  3. Step 3: Stir the cooled lemon syrup into the raspberry puree until fully combined. Pour into a shallow freezer-safe dish and freeze for 3 hours, stirring with a fork every 30 minutes until smooth and firm.
