Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups ripe plums, pitted and chopped Make sure your plums are ripe for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by washing, pitting, and chopping your ripe plums into smaller pieces.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.
  3. Once the sugar syrup has cooled slightly, add the chopped plums and lemon juice. Blend everything together in a blender or food processor until you reach a smooth consistency.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish, cover, and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up the ice crystals.
  5. Allow the sorbet to freeze for a total of about 4-5 hours or until firm.
  6. Scoop the sorbet into bowls, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
