The ingredients for Excellent Matakana Berry Sorbet are:

1kg (1000g) frozen berries of your choice - thawed
3 cups water
3 cups white sugar
8 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
12 heaped tablespoons granulated soy lecithin (If you could find liquid lecithin this would be better)- you can leave this out if you want to. I really have no idea how much to add- just guess work.

Here is how you make Excellent Matakana Berry Sorbet:

1. Bring water and sugar to the boil in frying pan- stirring constantly until sugar dissolved. Cool this syrup slightly2. Puree thawed berries in a blender.3. Put puree through a sieve to remove seeds4.. If you are using lecithin add water to granules and leave until a paste.Transfer this into bottom of dish and add the sieved pureed raspberrries- beat (with electric beater) to incorporate lecithin. it makes the icecream smoother- acts as an emulsifier. They told me that you can make a successfu sorbet without it, but it is easier to scoop if included.5. Add sugar syrup to puree and beat.6. Place in icecream container and refrigerate for several hours- I didn't put a lid on it.7. Freeze for at least one hour, remove from freezer and beat. Repeat this twice and then freeze overnight- Beating breaks up ice crystalsIf not all eaten the following day place gladwrap on the surface of the sorbet- helps to prevent ice crystals forming. Enjoy!!You can use any berries but seeds or skin in the case of blueberries must be sieved after pureeing.Number of Servings: 20Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user OWLETT.
