Mixed Berry Sorbet
(80)
  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 bag (12 oz) frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice1/4 cup orange juice1 tbsp Splenda2 tsp real vanilla extract
Directions
Thaw frozen berries in package.
Place thawed berries, juices, Splenda and vanilla extract into blender and blend until liquified.
Strain berry-juice mixture through small sieve (to remove seeds) into a flat, freezer-safe container (I use a 9x9 Pyrex dish).
Cover with plastic wrap, making sure wrap touches entire surface and freeze for about an hour, or until firm. Serve with a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
If frozen longer than an hour, you may need to allow the sorbet to stand at room temperature for it to soften enough to serve.
Also makes great popsicles or ice cubes for fruit drinks!

     If I'm in a rush I don't bother to thaw the berries and dont' add the splenda. Toss it in the blender with enough liquid (add H20 if needed) and *ta da* frozen deliciousness. Also, I like to substitute Limeade concentrate for a quick virgin strawberry daquiri... yummy. - 7/3/08

     Great summer treat. I use stevia rather than Splenda. - 6/22/09

     i added vanilla protein powder to the blender for a protein kick and the vanilla flavor...delish! Thanks for posting! - 6/1/09

     This is wonderful. My kids loved it too. I let them put a dollop of cool whip on. Also, I used stevia powder to sweeten. (Don't know how much, I just spinkled to taste.) - 1/8/09

     I too made this and it is great did not add sweetener per my tastes but I think the serving size is way off this is more like 6 servings than 12 but the calories are low enough that if I figure it in I can eat 3or 4 servings a day and not blow my day - 7/3/08

    Serving size was something of a guesstimate, and I know I tended to go small on portion size with this. I used a small scoop for my serving - like a cookie dough scoop. Bigger than a melon baller, but smaller than an ice-cream scoop. 2 scoops.

    Sorry about that.

     DELISH! And super easy! I let mine set overnight because it was still too mushy after an hour. I paired one serving of this (which I thought was small) with a half cup of Guilt Free Homemade Vanilla ice cream - FANTASTIC! And then the serving size seemed perfect! Adding to my cookbook! - 5/28/08

     I make this type of thing for my daughter's breakfast a few times a week before she goes to work. I usually have the leftovers and it keeps me full and not craving until close to noon hour. Excellent choice of fruit, vitamins and minerals to start off your day. - 3/6/10

     this was very good will be making it again - 3/6/10

     The recipe has a good flavor but it is more flavored ice than sorbet. It makes great berry flavored ice cubes to spruce up your water. - 1/11/10

     Just solved my sweet tooth fix. Going to try this tonight - 1/5/10

     My kids and I love this on top of vanilla frozen yogurt - 5/25/09
  • ANGIERASKIN
     i love this recipe! have been using it in black ice tea & adds just a touch of fruitiness! next time i will use my tupperware popsicle molds & make popsicles! wonderful too for that craving for something sweet, without the guilt! also, wanted to add that I didn't use any sweetener in this recipe. - 5/19/09

     you can add strawberries to sweaten and if its too liquid dont freeze it over night, just add ice in the blender to make it thicker. - 2/18/09
  • MJYK2014
     I will definately try this, I'm probably going to use a little honey though as I think my recent frequent headaches are because I've been using Splenda. Drat, I thought that Splenda would turn out to be too good to be true (I have a major sweet tooth!) - 2/18/09

     Delicious and so simple. That is important to me since I am not much of a cook. (I have a kitchen because it came with the house) LOL - 2/21/10
  • LUZDELCARMEN8
     Delicious so yummy. My favorite fruits are berries and I love pretty much any kind of smoothie. My husband and kids loved it as well. I'm new at this and the portions seem kind of small so I made only 4!!! oh well the calories all together aren't that bad - 11/15/09
  • MEREZIP
     This recipe is amazingly delicious. I didn't anticipate the flavor being so complex with such a simple recipe. - 5/28/09

     awsome dessert - 5/11/09
  • ANNIEMARIE6
     This is an excellent desert to have on hand. I tried this and it was excellent and I didn't have to make any changes. - 5/11/09
  • CD754706
     sounds yummy - but I only have a Magic Bullet - no blender big enough. - 7/3/08
  • BMOSEY
     I make this on a regular basis. I found that using fresh berries, instead of the bagged/frozen ones, I have fewer seeds and will actually leave them in the sorbet. Seeds are good for you but too many are a nuisance. - 7/3/08
  • JOJOSZENT
     I took out the juices and added a 6oz container of light strawberry yogurt and a 1/4 cup 1% milk along with some truvia. - 9/19/10
