Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450 grams) frozen fruit (such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or mangoes)
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) granulated sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon juice (optional, adds a touch of tartness)
Equipment:
- Nama juicer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Freezer-safe container
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Fruit:
Thoroughly wash and remove any stems or seeds from the frozen fruit.
2. Sweeten (Optional):
If desired, add granulated sugar to the frozen fruit and mix well. This step enhances the sweetness of the sorbet.
3. Add Lemon Juice (Optional):
For a touch of tartness, add lemon juice to the fruit and mix.
4. Juice the Fruit:
Assemble the Nama juicer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour the prepared fruit into the juicer and extract the juice.
5. Freeze the Juice:
Transfer the extracted fruit juice into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
6. Churn the Sorbet:
Remove the frozen fruit juice from the freezer and break it into small chunks. Place the chunks into the Nama juicer and churn until the desired consistency is achieved.
7. Freeze Again:
Transfer the churned sorbet back into the freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Tips for Success:
- Use ripe and sweet fruit for the best flavor.
- Don’t oversweeten the sorbet, as the freezing process will concentrate the sweetness.
- For a creamier sorbet, add a splash of milk or cream before churning.
- If the sorbet becomes too thick, let it soften slightly before serving.
Variations:
- Tropical Sorbet: Use a combination of frozen mangoes, bananas, and pineapple for a vibrant and refreshing treat.
