Blackberry Lime Sorbet

I've continued to look for things to use the ice cream attachment. I discovered this recipe from a great blog: Annie's Eats. My 1st try at sorbet. Loved this ~! Perfect for a hot summer day! Flavors I love.

Ingredients
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
4 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
splash of tequila (optional)

Directions
In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

Puree the blackberries in a blender of food processor with the simple syrup. Press the mixture through a large mesh sieve to remove the seeds, then stir the lime juice into the sweetened puree. Add a splash of tequila, if desired.

Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
