Print Recipe

This ultimate blackberry sorbet recipe is refreshingly decadent, simple to make, and packed with the bold, tangy sweetness of fresh blackberries. Perfect for a hot summer day, it’s a treat that feels like a little dose of sunshine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) vodka or berry liqueur (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and prep the blackberries: Rinse 4 cups (about 600g) of blackberries thoroughly and pat them dry.
  2. Make the puree: Place the blackberries in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Strain the puree: Pour the blended blackberries through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spatula to extract all the liquid. Discard the seeds.
  4. Prepare the sugar syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (200g) of sugar with 1/2 cup (120ml) of water. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool.
  5. Combine ingredients: Mix the strained blackberry puree, sugar syrup, and 2 tablespoons (30ml) of lemon juice in a bowl. Stir well.
  6. Optional alcohol addition: Add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of vodka or berry liqueur to prevent hard freezing.
  7. Churn the sorbet: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20-30 minutes.
  8. Freeze: Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture.
  9. No-churn method: If skipping the ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a container and freeze. Stir every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals.

Notes

For the best results, use ripe blackberries for a deeper sweetness. Straining the puree is essential for a smooth texture. Adding a tablespoon of alcohol prevents the sorbet from freezing too hard.
