  • About

Sorbets are a light and refreshing alternative to ice-cream. They are good to have as a middle course palate cleanser or as a dessert.

You can use any soft fruits you like – strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, mango, melon – and whichever stock syrup you prefer.

Ingredients

  • 225 g (8 oz) fruit
  • 150 ml (5 fl oz)

Method

Simply mix the fruits with the syrup and blitz in a blender, then push through a sieve. You now have a fruit syrup. Add the lemon juice to this to help lift the flavours. Churn in an ice-cream machine for 20 minutes and freeze, or turn into a freezer tray and place in the freezer, stirring and turning every 20–30 minutes until frozen.
