FROZEN BERRY SORBET
Simple sorbet using frozen strawberries and blueberries. Ready to eat in about 10 minutes! (Actually, I'm not sure if it is a 'real' sorbet, but it eats like one.) The type of blender that you have will make a difference in how much syrup you will need- I only needed 1/2 cup to cover my berries halfway, as per the blender directions. If you need to add more than 3/4 cup, you may have to pop it into the freezer for a bit before eating it, but with my blender it turned out perfect. I made a double batch of the syrup and stored the extra it in the fridge for the next few batches of sorbet.

Steps:
- To make the syrup: mix sugar and water together in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring till sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat. (It it not necessary to boil the syrup, in fact the less you heat it the quicker it will cool.).
- After the syrup has cooled enough that you can stick your finger in comfortably, you are ready to make the sorbet.
- Pour strawberries, then blueberries into blender. Add the lemon juice, and enough syrup to cover the berries halfway. Pulse, blend, etc. until you have a smooth puree. Serve immediately, or freeze in a plastic container with a layer of wax paper or saran wrap touching the top to prevent freezer burn. Remove from the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften.

QUICK MANGO SORBET
Last summer I decided to try my hand at making a passion fruit and mango sorbet. But fresh fruits require more prep and are difficult to find ripened at the same time, so I experimented using frozen fruit and juice. And voila! Both are readily available and inexpensive, too. -Carol Klein, Franklin Square, New York

Tips for Making the Best Frozen Fruit Sorbet:
- Choose ripe, flavorful fruit: The better the fruit, the better the sorbet. Look for fruit that is in season and at its peak of ripeness.
- Freeze the fruit before using it: This will help to create a smooth, scoopable sorbet. Freeze the fruit in a single layer on a baking sheet for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Use a powerful blender or food processor: You want to be able to blend the fruit until it is completely smooth. A high-powered blender or food processor will make quick work of this.
- Add a little sugar or honey: This will help to balance out the tartness of the fruit and make the sorbet more palatable. You can also add other sweeteners, such as agave nectar or maple syrup, to taste.
- Flavor the sorbet with herbs, spices, or extracts: This is a great way to add a unique twist to your sorbet. Try adding a few sprigs of mint, a pinch of cinnamon, or a drop of vanilla extract.
- Serve the sorbet immediately or freeze it for later: Sorbet is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be frozen for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to serve, let the sorbet thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before scooping.
Conclusion:
Frozen fruit sorbet is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create endless flavor combinations that will keep you cool and satisfied all summer long.
