Recipe Instructions
Step 1: Make the Simple Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine ¾ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup water. Heat over medium heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 2: Blend the Fruit
Place 3 cups hulled strawberries, 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1 cup fresh blueberries, cooled simple syrup, and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice into a blender. Blend until completely smooth.

Step 3: Strain the Mixture
Pour the blended fruit puree through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. Press gently to remove seeds and create a smoother texture.

Step 4: Freeze the Sorbet
Pour the smooth fruit mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 2 hours, stir well, then freeze for another 2 hours until firm.

Step 5: Scoop and Serve
Scoop the finished sorbet into six white dessert bowls. Garnish with a few fresh strawberries, fresh raspberries, and fresh blueberries.

Common Mistakes
- Using unripe fruit.
- Not dissolving the sugar fully.
