any sorbet recipes?

apprentice_tycoon

I'm looking for new sorbet recipes, we have one family favourite - lychee and elderflower- this is served all summer and on Christmas day before the turkey, but now I want to expand my repertoire? anyone got any other recipes?

I made this last week, we all liked it but it is very lemony, quite sharp! However it is easy to make. I'm going to make some tomorrow so have the syrup in the fridge, this time I've only used a cup of lemon juice, will see which we liked best. I find that it's a bit hit and miss in an ice cream maker if the syrup hasn't been chilled.

LEMON SORBET (1 cup = 250ml)

1 CUP WATER
2 CUPS GRANULATED SUGAR
1.5 CUPS LEMON JUICE

Put water in saucepan, add sugar, heat to dissolve sugar and then bring to boil. Boil for a minute or two and then leave to cool.

Add the lemon juice and put in fridge to chill thoroughly.

Pour into ice cream maker and churn until done or pour into container and freeze. I would imagine you'd have to tip out and beat when semi frozen if you don't use an ice cream maker.

Makes 1 litre.

Great, the syrup is just cooling now!

I don't have any lemons to hand so I'm using oranges, I've cut back on the sugar accordingly. Seeing your lemon recipe just reminded me of one a saw on a restaurant menu years ago, it was Lemon and Martini sorbet, I didn't order it as there was something chocolatey on the menu too, it was no contest I'm afraid

Ingredients

8oz caster sugar
juice of one organic lemon
juice of one organic orange
½pt water
½pt champagne (I usually use Cava)

Method

Heat the water and dissolve the sugar in it. Stir in the juice of the orange and the lemon and the champagne. Put into a container and place in the freezer. When the mixture begins to freeze around the edges, take it out and whip it to break up the ice crystals. Repeat this process until you have a smoothly frozen sorbet.


Nice for a special occasion! ♥

Certainly - LYCHEE AND ELDERFLOWER SORBET

6 tab spoons of white sugar (either castor or granulated)
9fl oz water
425g tin of lychees in syrup
1 tab spoons elderflower cordial (optional)

Boil the sugar and water, then cool
Whizz lychees and syrup together in a processor then rub through seive to extract juice, discard the pulp.
Mix lychee juice, syrup and cordial if using.
Freeze in in a shallow container until slushy
Blend in a processor or mix with a fork to break up, freeze again
Repeat the blending again until you have fluffy snow, not hard ice
If serving for a dinner party you can fill your glasses or bowls ahead of time, replace in freezer, then put them in the fridge 10-15 minutes ahead of time

Just take a handful or two of frozen fruit (my fave are mixed berries or fruits of the forrest) and chuck in the blender (I use my Bullet) and a couple of table spoons of water and a table spoon of sugar or sweetner. Blitz until smooth adding a little water if it's too dry You could also leave to soften for a little while and have a frozen fruit drink (it tastes remarkaby like the ones Costco do if you go there).

If you have a Bullet you could make sorbet to suit each person depending on their preferences

If you add a dollop of yogurt or cream you get instant ice cream.

This works really well with chunks of banana that you have previously frozen.In fact any fruit you have already frozen so that it is in separate pieces works.

What an excellent idea - and so straightforward, even I could cope with it! Sounds delicious too.

Many thanks,
