Raspberry Sorbet
Not only is this sorbet sweet and refreshing, but the color
makes a beautiful presentation on any menu.
Makes about 5 cups (ten ½-cup servings)
2 cups water
1½ cups granulated sugar
pinch table salt
4 cups 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 purée 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.
