Sorbet….recipes?
Not sure sorry!
Linda, I made a berry sorbet with the cuisinart ice cream maker, it couldn’t be easier. The best part was that the ingredients were minimal: 4 cups frozen berries (I had a berry medley and concentrated on the red berries in the mix, picking out the blueberries and using raspberies, strawberries and cherries…. four cups, laid out on a cookie sheet or baking pan, let it thaw, and meanwhile, make a simple syrup of 2 cups water to 1.5 cups sugar, when it’s melted, add a dash of salt, the thawed berries, then puree the mix and strain it , refrigerate the strained juice/simple syrup, prerferably overnight but a few hours is fine, when the mixing bowl on the cuisinart is frozen enough, start it up, pour in the mixture, i let it go for 20 minutes, and there’s your sorbet. There are loads of variations, I can’t wait to make a mango sorbet or ice cream. Tonight I am gonna go thru Bri’s list here (the maple walnut or Basil ice creams sound fantastic and probably do a vanilla or chocolate ice cream with Kuhlua added to it right at the end of mixing. Thanks, Brii, for the list!
Of course!!
This is such a wonderful roundup. Book marking a bunch of these recipes to try!
Awesome!! Enjoy 🙂
