Cool down on a hot summer day with this tantalizing blueberry sorbet that's bursting with sweet and tangy blueberry flavor. Made with fresh or frozen blueberries, this sorbet is a refreshing treat that's also incredibly easy to make. It's also naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
For a classic blueberry sorbet, follow the original recipe, which uses only four simple ingredients: blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. If you're looking for a boozy twist, try the blueberry vodka sorbet, which infuses the sorbet with a hint of vodka for a grown-up treat. And for a healthier option, check out the blueberry sorbet with Greek yogurt, which adds protein and creaminess to the sorbet without compromising on flavor.
SIMPLY BLUEBERRY SORBET
Editor's note: This recipe is adapted from Gabrielle Carbone, coproprietor of The Bent Spoon ice cream parlor in Princeton, New Jersey. This recipe makes a luscious, blue-purple sorbet that's perfect for our red, white, and blue cake. It's a pretty simple recipe - the quality comes from fresh, organic berries picked at the height of their flavor. The quality of the water is important as well - if your water has a bad aftertaste, so will your sorbet - so we recommend using bottled. The optional egg white helps to stabilize, emulsify, and preserve the texture of the sorbet if you are going to keep it in your freezer for a few days. Also optional is straining. At the shop, we don't strain - we like to keep the fruit as close to its natural state as possible. But if you dislike bits of seeds in your sorbet, feel free to strain the base before chilling it.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and salt. Cook, stirring, until the sugar and salt have dissolved, about 3 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- In a blender, purée the blueberries with the syrup and lemon juice until very smooth (you may need to divide this into several batches if your blender is not extra-large). If desired, strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Add the egg white, if using, during the last 2 to 3 minutes of churning. If making the ice cream cake , immediately pack into the pan. Or store, tightly covered, in the freezer.
- Variation: Blueberry-pomegranate sorbet:
- Replace 1/4 cup of the water with pure pomegranate juice (we recommend either Pom Wonderful or Knudsen's 100% Pomegranate Juice).
