Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a measuring cup, stir the sugar into the warm water until completely dissolved.
  2. Place your chosen fruit (oranges, mandarins, raspberries, or strawberries) into a blender or food processor.
  3. Add the sugar-water mixture and lemon juice to the blender.
  4. Blend or process until the mixture is nearly smooth but still has some texture.
  5. Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
  6. Cover the pan and freeze for 4 to 5 hours, or until the mixture is almost firm but still pliable.
  7. Remove the pan from the freezer and transfer the semi-frozen mixture to a large chilled bowl.
  8. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
  9. Return the beaten mixture to the loaf pan and smooth the top.
  10. Cover and freeze again for at least 6 hours, or until completely firm.
  11. Let the fruit ice stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
  12. Scoop into serving dishes using an ice cream scoop and garnish with fresh berries or mint if desired.
