Raspberry Sorbet
Anne Walker and Sam Mogannam, the couple behind San Francisco's Bi-Rite Creamery and Bi-Rite Market, love to host ice-cream socials at their home in Sonoma. For this vibrant sorbet, they supplement farmers' market berries with those from bushes in their backyard--if their two young daughters haven't already stolen them.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Make simple syrup: Combine sugar with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Step 2
2
Purée raspberries with 1/4 cup water in a food processor or blender. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large, clean bowl, pressing on the seeds with the back of a ladle to get all the usable raspberry purée. You should have about 3 1/2 cups.
Step 3
3
Add 3/4 cup simple syrup, the lemon juice, and salt. The mixture should be a bit too sweet; once it's frozen, it will lose some of its sweetness. Add more simple syrup if necessary.
Step 4
4
Freeze mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Eat right away or, for a firmer sorbet, freeze about 4 hours.
