Directions

In a food processor or blender, blend the berries, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour onto a baking tray and put in the freezer.
Check the tray every 20 minutes or so to scrape the ice crystals off the sides and bottom until you end up with a fluffy, snowy consistency, about 2 hours.

Chef Tips

If you have frozen berries in your freezer, you can get a similar result by processing them from frozen with the sugar and lemon juice plus ½ cup of water. Try it!
