Ingredients

Ingredients for Velvety Raspberry Sorbet
4	fresh red raspberries, (6 ounce) containers
1⁄2	cup honey
4	cups water, divided
3⁄4	cup white sugar
1⁄2	cup light corn syrup

Instructions

• Preparing the Raspberry Sorbet

  1. Place red raspberries in the bowl of a food processor; blend until smooth. For an extra smooth sorbet, strain the pureed raspberries through a fine sieve to remove the seeds. Combine the puree with honey in a large bowl.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 3 cups of water, sugar, and corn syrup; stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Boil without stirring until the sugar is dissolved, approximately 2 minutes. Then, add the remaining 1 cup of water to the raspberry puree.
  3. Create an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water. Place the bowl of raspberry puree in the ice bath and whisk until chilled. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, cover, and freeze until firm, which usually takes 6 to 8 hours.
  4. For a granita with a coarser texture, use a fork to scrape the frozen puree into small crumbs. To achieve a velvety sorbet, process the frozen puree in a food processor until smooth.
