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.

Pina colada sorbet - great idea.
My fav is green apple or mixed berries.
-
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.
-
Thanks for that tip nay-nay
-

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

I posted this one Bambi - I tasted it at a cooking class http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3562.0
-
yum - thanks earth mumma - esp. the pear and ginger - that looks amazing!
-
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!!
-
Posting links is what we are all about here AMH. Technically speaking I posted the recipe but I copied it from one of our cooking classes so cannot take the credit. I will be doing this one myself once the warmer weather arrives.
-
AMH a banana should help cream it up if you a looking for a change from the iciness while you are pregnant. ;) I often do this for my egg allergic DS
-
Great tip faffa. I'll try that one once it is consistently warm here ;D
-
Thanks faffa! I don't have any coconut oil on hand but bananas I have in abundance. Yum, might make this this afternoon!
Thanks JudyDawn!
I have some rockmelon (cantalope) and was thinking of trying that with banana as well. If it's a success I will report back.
-
loving these ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I have also found the "no egg" egg replacer works well instead of the egg white. and although its not a standard in many peoples cupboards, it lasts for ages, and actually works out much cheaper than eggs.
-
Oh that's good to know! I have a son allergic to egg, and while he can have egg in some things (like 1 egg as binder in meatballs), I use no-egg if there are a few eggs in the recipe, or it is an uncooked recipe. Hadn't thought of using it for sorbet!
-
i've never put the egg white in my sorbet ;)
-
I haven't being putting egg white in, but I have been meaning to try and see the difference.
-
I prefer the sorbets with the egg white (or substitute), but we had a preg lady over so gave the "no egg" replacer a try, worked just as well as the actual egg white, is cheaper, and sits better with us given its not raw egg. So have used egg replacer ever since.
-
Great ideas for replacing the egg white :-* :-* :-* :-*

Thanks for that recipe - have gven it a thread of its own here http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4581.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4581.0)

Has anyone used rockmelon for sorbet? I have one here that needs using up.
-
Yes you may want to freeze some of it too as it is quite watery and you will have a more liquid result.
-
It turned out well - I would use less sugar next time though as the rockmelon is so sweet.
-
I made one with 1 punnet of strawberries, 1 passionfruit (sieved) and 1 nectarine, it was nice and light, and very refreshing!
-
I did a similar one the other day for unexpected guests. From memory I think I used a banana, kiwi fruit, few strawberries and 2 squishy peaches. It was beautiful.

Jules what amount do you use and do you add water to it or use just the powder?

I have used it quite a few times at demos - it's very summery. ;)

At cooking classes they only ever use one of those little meringue 'nests' you can buy in a pack of 10 in case there is someone pregnant in the audience. :)

That's a good tip, Nay-Nay. I have quite a few pregnant friends at the moment.
