Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups apricots (fresh or frozen), pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. If using fresh apricots, wash, pit, and chop them into small pieces.
  2. Add the apricots to a blender or food processor.
  3. Add sugar or maple syrup, lemon juice, ground cardamom, and water.
  4. Blend until the mixture becomes completely smooth.
  5. Taste the puree and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  6. Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container.
  7. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours, stirring every hour with a fork to break up ice crystals.
  8. Once the sorbet is firm and scoopable, serve in bowls or dessert glasses.

Notes

  • Use ripe apricots for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • If the sorbet freezes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
  • A blender or food processor helps create a smoother sorbet texture.
  • Adjust the cardamom carefully since its flavor is strong.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
