I recently purchased an ice cream maker and have been making lots of great frozen treats. Nicole was quite interested in making some sorbet, but most recipes I found contained very little fruit and were mostly just sugar water and corn syrup. Here is my version of sorbet (two recipes, actually) that comes out quite delicious and at least contains minimal amounts of refined sugar.
Strawberry-Tangerine Sorbet
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of tangerine juice (works equally as well with orange juice)
- 1 pint of strawberries
- juice of a quarter of a lime
- 1 shot of vodka or triple sec
I pureed the strawberries in my food processor. I then mixed the strawberry puree with the tangerine and lime juice, added the shot of vodka, and poured the mixture into my ice cream maker. The lime juice really adds a lot to the flavor of the sorbet...the first batch was definitely lacking without it. The vodka helps keep the mixture easier to scoop after its been in the freezer a while. After the sorbet was roughly the consistency of softserve, I let it set up in the freezer for two hours before eating.
Strawberry-tangerine-apple-peach schnapps sorbet
The sorbet sets up really fast in the ice cream maker, so I tried making a second batch immediately following the strawberry-tangerine sorbet, but was out of strawberries. I grabbed what was in the refrigerator and made a pretty good tasting concoction. The mixture contained approximately...
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of tangerine juice
- 1/4 cup of apple juice
- 1 shot of peach schnapps
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
