This bright berry and nectarine sorbet is not only delicious but, with its all-natural ingredients, is actually good for you as well.

Ingredients

4 nectarines, pitted and roughly chopped

150g mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)

¼ cup (90g) honey, or maple syrup

1-2 tbsp lemon juice

½ tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup (35g) crushed macadamia nuts, to serve

Method

In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients except the nuts and blitz until smooth. Taste the sorbet base and adjust the sweetness with more honey if needed.

Pour into a freezer-safe container and cover with a lid. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the sorbet is firm.

When the sorbet is ready, take it out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Once softened, scoop the sorbet into serving bowls or cones and top with the macadamias.
