Recipe: Blueberry Sorbet
Summary: Squeaky clean tasting, light, bracingly fresh and seasonal as can be, blueberry sorbet is the “it” dessert of summer, and perfect for a backyard BBQ.
Ingredients
- 18 ounces fresh blueberries (I used 3 6-ounce containers, which equals 18 ounces)
- 8-8 ½ ounces pure cold blueberry juice (I used blueberry juice from Chile)
- 6 tablespoons vanilla sugar [1]
- 1 tablespoon Crème de Cassis or Chambord (could also use St. Germain or even vodka)
- 1 tablespoon Meyer lemon juice
- Sprinkle of salt
Instructions
- Wash, dry and puree blueberries using a food processor. I used a mini processor and did the berries in 2 batches. Place puree in a 4-cup measure. Add blueberry juice, sugar, liqueur, lemon juice and a tiny sprinkle of salt. Stir well to combine and dissolve the sugar.
- You may either use the mixture to make sorbet immediately, or refrigerate it for a couple of hours. If you begin with a cold mixture, freezing time is faster.
- To make now: Pour mixture into ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. Mine took about 20 minutes. Your mileage may vary depending on your machine and how cold your mixture is when you begin.
- Remove frozen sorbet from machine and either eat immediately, or spoon into containers with tight fitting lids. Freeze for several hours for best scooping results.
- Serves 6-8.
