Concord Grape Frozen Yogurt
Description
This frozen yogurt begins by processing fresh Concord grapes to a puree and then straining out skins and seeds for a smooth grape base. Combining this grape puree with yogurt and honey creates a well-balanced mixture of tartness, sweetness, and creaminess.
Chilling the mixture before processing in an ice cream machine ensures proper texture development. Once churned, the frozen yogurt is firmed by freezing it in a loaf pan for several hours. The end result is a creamy and refreshing frozen treat infused with natural grape flavors.
The use of Concord grapes provides a distinctive flavor profile, different from other common fruit frozen yogurts. The recipe allows flexibility in the type of yogurt used and highlights the fresh fruit's natural sweetness and color without additional flavoring.
Ingredients
- 1 pound grapes seeded or seedless, it doesn't matter, Concord
- 2 cups yogurt any kind, I used full fat Greek, plain, Greek
- 2 Tbsp honey
Instructions
- Remove the grapes from the stems and put them in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Puree the grapes until smooth, scrape down the bowl as necessary.
- Push the puree through a mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or a nut milk bag. Try to get as much of the puree liquid through, leaving just the skins and any seeds behind.
- Blend the yogurt with the strained puree and the honey until smooth. It might help to put it back into the (rinsed) food processor to do this.
- For best results chill this mixture for at least 2 hours before proceeding.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream machine and process according to directions.
- Spread the frozen yogurt into a loaf pan, cover, and put in the freezer for several hours or until firm enough to scoop.
