Ruth - Just eating this. I used green apples. Its really different and creamy. We all loved it. It was maybe a bit bitter but I probably got too much pith in my lemon zest. I just use a vegetable peeler to peel the skin and throw it in in long strips as my zester is useless. Do other people do this or should I buy a decent zester, I was hoping I didn't need one with the TMX.
JD - A zester does a much better job Ruth so if you can, I'd get another one but you can do it without one. Just make sure you cut off all the white pith with a knife before adding the peel in with the sugar to blitz.

Hi Judydawn
Just wondering do you peel the apples?? I have also heard of a pear/ginger sorbet recipe that is very seasonal - but now that winter is starting to set in puddings/custards etc are on the menu and sorbets are not so popular. Thanks for this thought I think we will try it out.

No need to peel the apples earth mumma.

Thanks JD. Yeah, no need to peel the apples. I love Granny Smiths unpeeled for sorbets.
OK - reminds me that I have a lemon and olive oil sorbet to write up.

I loved it too but the only problem was they gave us little wooden spoons to eat it with at the class and I can't stand wood in my mouth (maybe I'm strange). A plastic spoon would have been so much better.

Thanks Judy dawn. I will have a look at zester's then, its good to know what other people use and I love gadgets ;-). Yes I don't like icypole sticks so I know what you mean. Its a great sorbet for this time of year.

Thank you Ruth. For years I've thought I was the only person who hated pop sticks.
