We are designing our own snack foods in cooking class and me and my partner are doing a berry sorbet, Changing round the toppings and playing with the flavours, but neither of us knows how to make sorbet. If anyone knows the basic sorbet recipe i would be very grateful. Thanks

Cool!

I've never made sorbet.
But I googled it.

This is what i came up with




Raspberry Fruit Sorbet

Ingredients:

*2/3 cup of superfine sugar

*1 cup of water

*Puree 23 oz. raspberries with 1/4 cup lime juice.

Instructions:

1) Combine sugar and water in a medium sized saucepan.

2) Stir slowly over low heat until sugar is dissolved.

3) Bring mixture to a boil.

4) Boil for 1 minute.

5) Remove from heat and cool completely.

6) Mix the fruit puree in a food processor or blender.

7) Add the raspberry puree to the cooled sugar syrup and stir to combine.

8) Place the puree/sugar mixture into an ice-cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, here is an alternative way to freeze the sorbet.
Place the puree/sugar syrup in a metal bowl or cake pan and freeze for 1 hour. Remove from freezer and beat with an electric mixer or whisk; return to the freezer. Repeat at hourly intervals 3 more times.




*Note: I've never made this so I don't know if the recipe works. Maybe someone else has made sorbet before and will help you out. :)

I think you can just switch the raspberries for what ever fruit you want.

Love ya *hug5*

This is a "Little Guy" Fave!!!

Ingredients
1 c Water
1/2 Sugar
1 1/4 c Orange Juice
1/4 c Lemon Juice
3 tbsp Lime Juice


Prepare
In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine water and sugar and bring this to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved, this creates a simple syrup. Remove the saucepan from heat and let stand until the syrup is just warm.

In a medium bowl, combine the syrup and the juices and stir until they are well blended.

Pour the mixture into an ice-cream maker. Following Manufacturers instructions for your model to freeze the sorbet. (or follow the alternate directions give by Pine :) )

though by third interval, it will likely be to hard to stir :)

Works well!! And is very refreshing when it is warm outside :)

Enjoy!!!

This one I've made... it is very similar to what sister Pine has shared :)

Ingredients:
1 pkg (10 oz) Frozen Raspberries, thawed
1 c Water
1 c Sugar
1 tbsp Lemon Juice



Prepare
Place raspberries in food processor, or blender, and process or blend until they are pureed and smooth in consistency.

In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the water and sugar and bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the saucepan from heat source and let stand until the syrup is just warm.

In a medium bowl, combine the syrup, raspberry puree, and lemon juice and stir until they are well blended.

Pour the mixture into an ice-cream maker. Follow manufacturers instructions to freeze the sorbet.

Awesome!!!

Hey Sis!!!

I pray all is well with you and yours!

I shared two of the recipes I use but....

To answer your question regarding sorbet ....

You are basically flavoring syrup and freezing it...

Simple Syrup Recipe...

Equal Parts Sugar and Water.... so 1 cup each... 2 cups each...etc depending on how much you wish to make.

Then... to flavor,

You can really use any fruit that can be made into a puree.... best advice frozen because it has already been processed by par boiling, or blanching.
The sky's the limit :) Any fruit you can think of is pretty much fair game, so get creative! For a 1 cup simple syrup combo, you would use about a cup and a half of fruit.

Now, you will need to add a "thinner" to the puree mixture, Lemon or Lime juice work well.... it isn't an exact science, but generally a Tablespoon or two is enough.

If I can be of any assistance sis, please do not hesitate to PM me!

Best Wishes on this project!!!

Peace and Luv in Christ,
*BlessYou* Lani
