raspberry lemon sorbet

i did some experimenting tonight; trust me, that's a rare feat. fortunately i had success with this little number and thought i would share! or at the very least, inspire you to do your own experimenting with summer berries and cool treats. :-)

2 cups fresh raspberries
6 oz frozen lemonade
1.5-2 TB sugar
3 oz raspberry jell-o, dissolved in 1 C boiling water

dissolve jell-o in boiling water, put in fridge or freezer until egg-white consistency (or maybe not even that thick).

meanwhile, blend berries, lemonade and sugar.

add jell-o/water to the blender and stir/blend until combined.

pour into ice cream maker and run for approx. 20 minutes, or until it looks sorbet-ish!

** this makes slightly less than 1 quart of sorbet. ours was a little tart, but we liked it. if you don't like tart, just add more sugar to your taste. super easy, fun, and delish! perfect summer delight. i could take a picture of my empty bowl, but that might be a little cruel. ;-)

** if you want to get all fancy, you could puree the raspberries first, then push the mixture through a sieve to remove the seeds. i was much too lazy for that.
