Ingredients and substitutions
Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this recipe. You can see a complete list of ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.
Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries - Fresh berry combinations are a delicious way to use seasonal fruit (like in this creamy peach sorbet). This recipe has a method for using fresh and frozen fruit and you can easily substitute other berries.
Lemon juice - Just a little bit helps brighten up the berry flavors. Lime juice would also be good!
Organic cane sugar - This vegan-friendly sweetener compliments the natural sugars in the fruit and allows us to achieve a creamy consistency.
Step-by-step instructions
Before you start: Get out all the ingredients.
Step 1: Place berries in the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. Add sugar and blend. Then add lemon juice and salt to the sorbet base and blend to incorporate.
Step 2: Strain puree with a fine sieve and transfer liquid to ice cube trays. Freeze for 2-3 hours until frozen.
Step 3: Once frozen, place sorbet cubes in the bowl of the food processor and blend until smooth.
Step 4: Transfer to a freezer-safe container and return to freezer until ready to serve.
Tips
- Straining the fresh fruit puree in this mixed berry sorbet is helpful when using more fibrous fruits like strawberries and raspberries. It's not required but does help cut down on seeds in the homemade sorbet.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sorbet before sealing the container. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming and keeps the sorbet from developing a freezer burn.
- When ready to serve, take the sorbet out of the freezer 5 minutes prior to allow it to soften for easier serving.
Storage
Store in a clean, airtight container. Make sure the container is freezer-safe and has a tight-sealing lid. Glass or plastic containers with lids work well for storing sorbet.
Place the sorbet container in the coldest part of your freezer and not on the door where temperatures vary. The frozen treat can be stored in the freezer for up to a month.
FAQs
Yes, you can use a single type of berry, such as strawberries or raspberries, to make sorbet. Adjust the quantities accordingly (you'll want about 2 ½ pounds) and follow the same recipe, substituting the mixed berries with your chosen variety.
A perfect dessert on its own, you can serve it alongside a limoncello spritz or make it even more of a treat by serving it with whipped cream, a crisp cookie, fresh berries, chocolate drizzle, coconut flakes, or mint leaves.

Wow - these little green glasses are super cute! No wonder you fell in love with them! To be honest, I've NEVER cooked with rhubarb before - I'm behind the times and this sorbet sounds too incredible to pass up. I suppose I should snag some while they're in season! Gorgeous post!
Tessa
Thank you, Sarah! Now, hopefully I won't break these little glasses! Highly likely. Ohh, I'm excited for you to cook with rhubarb. :) xo!
Alissa
I'm in loooooooove with those green dishes!
Tessa
Aren't they so fun?! :)
Beverley @ sweaty&fit
Mmm definitely thought you would have needed a sorbet making or something along those lines to make this! Looks super yummy
Tessa
Thanks, Beverley! Totally easy without an ice cream maker (although I'd really like to have one of those!). Have a great weekend!
Christine // my natural kitchen
I adore rhubarb and can't wait to make this sorbet - all the ingredients are just perfect! Also, your new cups are super cute! Your story makes me laugh - my husband is the exact opposite, having grown up eating his mom's rhubarb pie. In his opinion, combining rhubarb with strawberries is a travesty haha soo.... more strawberry rhubarb sorbet for me!
Tessa
Thanks, Christine! I'm such a sucker for small cups/dishes. Haha, that's too funny. More for you for sure!!
Angela
sounds delicious. I made rhubarb and strawberry jam last year and it was so lovely I will be repeating it this year.
Tessa
Thank you, Angela! Oh, rhubarb and strawberry jam sounds fantastic. I may just have to make that next!
Kathryn
I think rhubarb is definitely one of those flavours that's an acquired taste - I really didn't like it as a kid but it's one of my favourites now. I have to say though that until this weekend I had never tried the strawberry + rhubarb combo and now I'm obsessed. I can't wait to try this sorbet next!
Tessa
Definitely agree, rhubarb really is one of those acquired tastes. So glad you are now a strawberry-rhubarb convert! :)
Alison @ Food by Mars
Loving the sorbet right now - it's so easy to make! This flavor combo is classsssic! You have come a long way in loving rhubarb ;) lovely!
Tessa
Sooo easy! I certainly have come a long way. :) Thanks, Alison!!
June Burns

Tessa
Thank you, June! :) Hope you're having a great weekend.
