Rosie's Country Baking: Raspberry Sorbet

I'm loving my new Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and the manual that comes with it has some great recipes. Today I made the raspberry sorbet ~ it was very easy, few ingredients and refreshing, yummy and healthy! Look at that vibrant pretty pink color :)

Here's the recipe adapted from the Cuisinart Recipe Booklet:
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
pinch salt
1 package frozen raspberries = about 3 cups
1 small container fresh raspberries = 1 cup
Puree together both raspberries in a food processor. In a medium saucepan cook together the water and sugar over med-low heat, cook until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the salt and raspberry puree. Strain half the mixture at a time through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds.

Cover and refrigerate for 2 -3 hours or overnight. Turn on your ice cream maker and pour in the raspberry mixture. Mix until thickened about 15-20 minutes. Pour the sorbet in an air tight container and place in freezer until desired firmness, I left mine in overnight.
