Ingredients

  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 lb raspberries

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the sugar and water in a small pan and place over a medium heat. Warm, stirring now and then to dissolve the sugar. You don't need to simmer, just warm enough to dissolve, then remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  2. Wash the raspberries well then place in a food processor (or can use a blender) and blend to break the fruit up well. Press the mixture through a fine strainer, making sure you press through as much of the fruit pulp as you can. Discard the seeds.
  3. Add the strained raspberry puree to the cooled sugar syrup and stir to combine and mix well.
  4. Following your ice cream maker's instructions, pour the chilled raspberry mixture into the ice cream maker and churn until it reaches a soft-scoop consistency (around 20 minutes). Then, transfer to a container to freeze until firmer and for longer storage. It will likely need at least two or three hours to firm up. When you are ready to serve, you may need to let it sit a minute or two to soften slightly before scooping.

Notes

  • You can optionally add in a squeeze of lemon juice to the mixture before churning, if you like.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a container and remove from the freezer to break up ice crystals roughly every 30 minutes. As it is almost frozen, if it still looks to have larger ice crystals, you could pulse in the food processor to break up and be more even texture then freeze again to firm up.
  • This makes around 2 ½ - 3 cups (600-700ml).
