Equipment

Ingredients

4 cups black or red seedless grapes washed and stems removed
½ cup water
½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste depending on grape sweetness)
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

Place the grapes in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
Pour the grape puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has fully dissolved — about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Stir the cooled syrup and lemon juice into the grape juice.
Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish (metal works best for faster freezing).
Place the dish in the freezer for 30–45 minutes, then scrape and stir with a fork to break up ice crystals.
Return the dish to the freezer and repeat the stirring every 30–45 minutes for 3–4 hours, until the sorbet is firm but scoopable.
When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Adjust sugar amount: Based on the sweetness of the fruit. But keep in mind that more sugar equals a softer, velvety scoop.
Use the best grapes: This simple grape sorbet recipe only has 4 ingredients, so use the best grapes you can find.
Stir often: When making no-churn red or green grape sorbet, it’s important to frequently stir the freezing mixture to break up any large ice crystals for a smoother scoop.
