Instructions
Thoroughly stir together all ingredients and pour into a large shallow dish
Place dish uncovered in freezer
Freeze for at least four hours, stirring thoroughly with a fork every hour to reduce the size of forming ice crystals
After four-six hours, a semi-solid (non-liquid) mush of small-ish ice crystals should have formed
Remove dish from freezer, and process slush in batches in a blender or food processor to create a more homogenous sorbet-like texture
Pour sorbet into suitable container, cover and stash in freezer, consume within a few days for optimum flavors
Recipe Notes
To make simple syrup, add equal parts of sugar and water to a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring every now and then until sugar has completely dissolved. Cool and use. Will keep pretty much forever in the fridge.
