Making blueberry sorbet at home is straightforward. Here’s how to do it:

1. Prepare the Blueberries: If using fresh blueberries, rinse them thoroughly under running water. If using frozen, there’s no need to thaw them.
2. Make the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Allow to cool to room temperature.
3. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, add blueberries, the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt if desired. Blend until smooth.
4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture, adding more sugar or lemon juice as needed for desired sweetness and tartness.
5. Chill the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.
6. Freeze the Sorbet: Transfer the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
7. Hardening the Sorbet: If a firmer texture is desired, transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
8. Serve: Remove the sorbet from the freezer a few minutes before serving to make scooping easier.

These simple steps will have you enjoying a delightful bowl of blueberry sorbet in no time!
