If you are looking for a sweet and sour reminisce of summer time during this spring quarantine. This is the recipe for you!
As a New Yorker during quarantine, it has been difficult to satisfy my craving for food I don't usually cook like Pad Thai or Egg Plant fritters. The stores have been impossible to get into and when you finally do get inside - you are left with rationed options. I have been trying my best to cook my reliable dishes like tacos but also finding time to dedicate to new food.
I have always been more of a sorbet/sherbet type of girl than regular ice cream. Glad that is the case because the recipe for ice cream calls for too much of my attention. Below is a 4 min recipe to make your own fruit sorbet.
Tools
Spoon
Pot
Ingredients
Sugar (white/brown)
Water
Lemon
Lime
Directions
1. Turn your stove on with half of cup or water ( tap, distilled or purified). I added about a quarter of a cup of white sugar. You have to stir it until the water is clear and all the sugar has dissolved. You have now create simple syrup. Let it sit in the pot.
* This is a personal flavor choice. If you want sorbet sweeter add more sugar. You can also make a simple syrup with brown sugar. You will need to more attentive to stirring to be sure that all of it dissolves.
2. Add your frozen fruit to your blender. I will be using a personal blender which hold about a cup of frozen red raspberries. I really enjoy the frozen fruit selection from Target called " Good & Gather". This is Target's new brand and not only is the quality of the food good but the packaging is so pretty.
3. Add your simple syrup to to your blender. I only pour about less than a quarter of the cup. I blend it for two mins. Half way through - I check with my spoon to see the consistency to make sure all the fruits are being blended.
4. Once the sorbet has been made, I zest a lemon and a lime. I like less lime zest. I prefer to add fresh lime juice for taste.
5. VOILA! It is complete and taste like a 5 star dish - with out breaking a sweat.
**If you can not get frozen fruit, you can use ice. I would use 3 to 1 for fruit to ice.
