Ingredients:
- 4 cups frozen blueberries
- ½ cup water
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Zest of half a lemon
- 3 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Gather 4 cups of frozen blueberries, ½ cup of water, 3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, the zest of half a lemon, and 3 tablespoons of honey to ensure everything is ready before blending.
- Blend the mixture: Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend for about 30 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth, creating a vibrant and creamy sorbet base with no lumps.
- Transfer to freezing container: Carefully pour the blended sorbet mixture into a loaf pan or a deep glass Tupperware, spreading it evenly to promote quicker and uniform freezing.
- Freeze the sorbet: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow it to set for at least one hour, or until it reaches the desired firm sorbet consistency.

Notes
- Using frozen blueberries helps achieve a smoother texture without needing to add ice.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste depending on desired sweetness and blueberry natural sweetness.
- If a softer sorbet is preferred, reduce freezing time or let sit a few minutes at room temperature before serving.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- This sorbet is best consumed within 1 week if kept in an airtight container in the freezer.
