How to Make Sorbet
Description: One of my favorite summer desserts is fruity, creamy sorbet. The bright colors and cool taste are the perfect compliment to a warm summer evening. However, store-bought flavors generally have more added sugars than I would prefer, and for some reason the flavors always seem a little bit dull. So, I set out to make my own. Armed with my Blendtec blender and a Twister jar, I set to work with just a few simple ingredients - frozen fruit, juice, and sugar.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup fruit juice
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar, or sweetener of your choice
- 2 tbsp corn syrup*
- 8 oz frozen fruit
Instructions
- Add the juice, sugar, corn syrup, and frozen fruit to Twister jar.
- Blend using the Ice Cream cycle, or blend on a Low speed for 15 seconds, then blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 30 seconds, turning the twister lid counter-clockwise while blending.
- Serve immediately for a soft version, or freeze for 2-3 hours for a scoop-able sorbet.
- If frozen for more than 4 hours, let sit at room temp for 15-20 minutes before scooping and serving.
