Ingredients
  

For the Sorbet Base
  • 2 cups fresh fruit, hulled or peeled and roughly chopped Examples: strawberries, mango, blueberries; use ripe, sweet fruit for best flavor.
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar Adjust to taste based on fruit sweetness; use fine sugar for faster dissolving.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Adds brightness and balances sweetness; can use lime for a tropical twist.
  • 1 cup cold water Helps blend to a smooth puree.
Optional Finishing Touches
  • a pinch kosher salt Enhances fruit flavor.
  • fresh mint leaves For garnish.
  • zest of lemon or lime For an aromatic lift.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash, hull, peel, and chop 2 cups of fresh fruit into uniform pieces.
  2. In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 cup cold water. Blend until completely smooth — about 30–60 seconds on high depending on your blender.
  3. Taste a small spoonful of the puree. If needed, adjust the sweetness with sugar or lemon juice.
  4. If using seeded berries, pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently to extract as much flavor as possible.
  5. Pour the finished puree into your Ninja Creami pint container, leaving a small headspace at the top.
  6. Place the pint in the freezer upright and freeze for at least 24 hours.
Processing
  1. Remove the pint from the freezer, unlock and remove the lid, then install it in your Ninja Creami.
  2. Select the 'Sorbet' program and process.
  3. After the initial spin, evaluate the texture and use the 'Re-spin' function if needed.
  4. Scoop the sorbet into chilled bowls and serve immediately or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
  5. Garnish with mint leaves, fruit slices, or lemon zest before serving.

Notes

Store sorbet in an airtight container for up to 2-3 weeks. Let sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before scooping if too hard.
