Ingredients
- 200g Co-operative Fairtrade granulated sugar
- 275ml water
- Juice of half a lemon
- 475g raspberries
Method
- In a pan, place the sugar with the water. Heat gently until all the sugar has dissolved, and then turn up the heat until the solution turns into a loose syrup.
- Into a separate bowl, push the raspberries through a sieve to extract the juice and collect the pips. Pour the sugar solution over the pips to extract as much juice as possible into the bowl.
- Add the lemon juice to the liquid extracted from the raspberries, and mix well. Pour the mixture into a freezable container and place in the freezer for 2 hours. Take it out and break up the ice crystals with a fork, and place back into freeze for a further 2 hours.
- Continue to break up the ice crystals every hour from then on, until the mixture is firm and smooth.
- Leave the sorbet out of the freezer for 10 minutes before serving, to give a creamier texture.
