Lemon Basil Sorbet
The basil adds a nice undertone to the sorbet,
but any one of your favourite herbs could be substituted.
Makes about 5 cups ([1.25 L] ten ½-cup [125 ml] servings)
3 cups (750 ml) water
2 cups (500ml) granulated sugar
2 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon zest, divided
cups (375 ml) packed fresh basil (if a stronger basil
flavour is wanted, use 2 cups [500 ml])
pinch salt
3 cups (750 ml) fresh lemon juice
1. Prepare a lemon simple syrup with the water, sugar and
1½ tablespoons (25 ml) of the lemon zest by combining
all three in a medium saucepan set over medium-low
heat. Cook mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Remove from heat.
2. Once the simple syrup is ready, add the basil and salt.
Let the mixture steep for 30 minutes. Stir in the lemon
juice. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, or overnight.
3. Strain the chilled mixture through a fine mesh strainer.
Turn on the Cuisinart® ice cream maker; pour the
mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until
thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. When the sorbet is
almost done, add the reserved zest through the opening
on top of the ice cream maker and let churn until
combined. The sorbet will have a soft, creamy texture. If
a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the sorbet to an
airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours.
Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.

Raspberry Sorbet
Not only is this sorbet sweet and refreshing,
but the colour makes a beautiful presentation on any menu.
Makes about 5 cups ([1.25 L] ten ½-cup [125 ml] servings)
2 cups (500 ml) water
1½ cups (375 ml) granulated sugar
pinch table salt
4 cups (1 L) frozen raspberries, thawed
1. Prepare a simple syrup with the water and sugar by
combining both in a medium saucepan set over
medium-low heat. Cook mixture until the sugar is fully
dissolved.
2. Once the simple syrup is ready, add the salt and the
raspberries. Using an immersion blender, blend the
mixture until smooth. Strain half of the mixture through
a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Use a spatula
to aid in passing the pue through the strainer. Remove
seeds and repeat with the second half. Cover and
refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, or overnight.
3. Turn on the Cuisinart® ice cream maker; pour the
mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until
thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. The sorbet will have
a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired,
transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and place in
freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about
15 minutes before serving.
