1
Prepare the Simple Syrup:
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool. -
2
Blend the Ingredients:
Chop the cooked beets into smaller pieces and place them in a blender or food processor.
Add the cooled simple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and orange juice. Optionally, add fresh raspberries for a fruity twist. Blend until smooth. -

Strain (Optional):
For a smoother sorbet, strain the beet mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp. -
4
Chill and Freeze:
Pour the beet mixture into a shallow container and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Once chilled, transfer it to the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until it’s frozen and creamy (about 2-3 hours).
Alternatively, if you have an ice cream maker, churn the mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions. -
