It's still blueberry season, and this blueberry lemon sorbet comes with an unconventional addition: saffron! Don’t have saffron lying around? Don’t worry; this sorbet is just as tasty with or without it.

  • Step 2

    Pulse until the mixture is smooth and free of any lumps. This is super important, as the sorbet won’t form correctly unless the mixture is completely blended!

  • Step 3

    Keep the mixture in the fridge for anywhere from half an hour to overnight. The colder the mixture, the better.

  • Step 4

    Add the mixture to the ice cream machine. Let run until it forms a solid, scoopable mixture, about 20 minutes.
