Fresh Strawberry/Raspberry Sorbet

This rich & colorful strawberry/Raspberry sorbet is a perfect treat on a hot spring’s day.  It has a wonderfully light and refreshing flavor with a grainy consistency and  very  simple dessert to make at home; just mixing together freezing fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice. I have used fresh strawberry and raspberry for this recipe; you can use the frozen fruits.

1 pounds of raspberry
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
