Description
This sorbet recipe is very basic, but so good. I use normal white sugar usually for this but feel free to replace it with something more natural like brown sugar, maple syrup or for example honey.
If you do, think of what it does with the taste. White sugar just brings extra sweetness if that’s what you want. A lot of natural sweeteners will bring an extra dimension to the flavor of the sorbet thus obfuscating the taste with something else.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 735g blueberries
- 250g sugar (or for example honey, maple syrup, apple/pear molasses)
- 15g lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash the blueberries with running water.
- Put all ingredients in a pot
- Heat it till just over 80 Celsius (175 Fahrenheit).
- Keep it over 80 Celsius (175 Fahrenheit) for at least 30 seconds while stirring the mixture well (I use a whisk).
- Take the pot of the stove.
- Pour the mixture in a blender and blend it till you have a nice consistency
- Put the pot with the sorbet mixture in a large bowl of ice water in order to cool the mixture as quickly as possible. Refresh the ice water when it feels warm.
- Put the mixture in the fridge and let it cool completely down.
- Take it out of the fridge and put it in the ice cream machine.
- Churn it in your ice cream machine
- Serve straight from the machine or store in the freezer.
- Bon appétit
Notes
For a little bit of extra you can add a little sweet chili powder or black pepper. Just a hint will do as this will enhance the flavor
Adding some vanilla will also work as a flavor enhancer. But not really needed as the blueberry taste is just awesome. Sometimes sticking to nature is the best.
