This syrup is used in the making of sorbets. The amount of sugar added to the fruit purée plays a large role in the consistency of the finished sorbet. If too little sugar is added, the sorbet will be hard and icy. If too much is added, it will not freeze. In French cooking, sugar is added to achieve the proper consistency without regard for the natural sweetness of the fruit, often resulting in an overly sweet puree. When this happens, lemon juice is added to adjust the sweetness.
