Raspberry Ginger Sorbet
Ripe raspberries are pureed with fresh lime juice and ginger simple syrup to create this cool and refreshing sorbet that is easy on the waistline.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 4- inch ginger root peeled and cut in ½ inch rounds, piece
- 4 ounce raspberry approximately 4 cups, Driscoll's brand, container
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons ginger grated, fresh
- salt pinch
Instructions
- Heat water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add sliced ginger rounds. Let steep until slightly cooled, about 30 minutes.
- Puree raspberries, lime juice, fresh ginger and salt in a high speed blender or food processor until smooth.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and press raspberry mixture through with a rubber spatula to separate the liquids; discard solids.
- Once simple syrup has cooled, strain over same bowl and stir to combine with the raspberry liquids.
- Place raspberry-ginger mixture in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours or over night.
- Pour mixture into ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Notes
- I like to let the natural berry flavor shine but you can add up to ½ cup additional sugar to the simple syrup for an even sweeter sorbet. Likewise, the more sugar you add, the smoother the sorbet.
