Ingredients:
2 cups blueberries
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to burst and the sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
Pour the strained mixture into a shallow pan and freeze for about 1 hour.
After an hour, remove the pan from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and mix the ice crystals. Return to the freezer and repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours or until the mixture has a slushy consistency.
Once the mixture is slushy, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until firm.
