Now that it is nearly sorbet season again...........
« on: September 26, 2010, 02:36:16 pm »
what are your favourites?

A friend passed on this recipe that I made yesterday - it was very very good.

Follow the recipe amount and method from EDC:

300g fresh pineapple
100g sugar (pineapple is so sweet that the normal amount is too sweet)
tray of frozed coconut cream
about 4 icecube trays to bring the total up to 700g icecubes
egg white

if making for adults a bit of rum would be a great addition.

Here in Spain its autumn now which means that the first fresh apples have arrived.

I usually prepare Apple Butter and then use that for a delicoius apple sorbet.

I dont use the TM to prepare the apple butter but only to make the Sorbet.

For those of you who dont know what is Apple Butter(Nothing to do with butter!)  i just googled a nice recipe for you.

I would never have thought of apple sorbet. What a great idea.

That would be really nice in champagne. Mmmmmmmmm

Bluesed do you just freeze the apple butter and then puree it in the TMX?

Strawberries are really cheap atm - add a tablespoon of coconut oil instead of egg white for a egg free version - gives it a nice flavour as well  ;)

No i dont freeze it, i just keep it in the fridge. When i blend it with ice it gets a nice sorbet texture.

Hi Zebraa


You can try pear and ginger (very refreshing, jusd use a smallish piece of ginger and blitz it with the sugar, add 300gm of pear flesh - skin on and 700gm of ice) or mango and orange (freeze about 300gm of orange, cut into smallish chunks and use in place of 300gm of ice - so 300gm of fresh mango flesh, 300gm of frozen orange and 300gm of ice cubes  - 1 egg white and about 90gm of sugar)

This is our favourite summer version

Strawberry / Watermelon Sorbet



Ingredients:


80-90gm sugar (tm speed 9/10 secs - do this first)
300gm fresh strawberries (or 250)
300gm iceblocks (I find if I use smaller ice blocks it creates a smoother sorbet) - to make it all fruit you can replace the ice with 300g frozen strawberries, making sure that you cut them into ¼ before freezing
1 egg white
300gm frozen watermelon
100gm chocolate (you choose what you like best) - optional
1 glass of water


Method:

Mill sugar sp9, 10secs
Add fresh strawberries and frozen strawberries/ice blocks and egg white.
Using spatula vigorously, incorporate together on sp 10, for about 10 -15secs.
Add frozen watermelon through hole in lid, incorporate for another 40-50sec, speed 10, keep and eye on it here, the time may need to be less, do it too long here and you will end up with a slushy.
If using - add chocolate in the last 5- 10 secs of incorporation.

* If your sorbet stops moving and seems stuck at any stage it is very important to add water and use your spatula to keep it moving – this will help with the longevity of your blades.

Eat immediately or re-freeze in a shallow tray, when required chop into chunks and re emulsify by TM at sp10 until at desired consistency.

Cheers

Thanks for posting the pear and ginger recipe-I had read about that somewhere and thought it sounded fabulous!

I have been eating sorbet heaps and love JudyDawn's green apple and lemon sorbet - I hope she doesn't mind me posting the link.  I've made it four or five times.

Thanks for the tip on coconut oil-I have been omitting the egg white as I'm preggo and it does mean that it's icier.

I've also used mango and orange which is a nice combination.  Haven't strayed too far from the EDC recipe but this will be inspiring!!
