Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 tsp lemon zest in a saucepan; simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until berries break down and mixture becomes syrupy.
  2. Step 2: Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing solids with a spoon until only smooth liquid remains; discard seeds and pulp.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1/4 cup cold water, then pour into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes until frozen. Alternatively, pour into a shallow dish, freeze for 30 minutes, stir vigorously, then freeze 2 more hours until firm.
