RASPBERRY-MINT SORBET
The perfect pairing of flavors for a light dessert.
Makes about 4 cups (eight ½-cup servings)
1½
cups water
1
cup granulated sugar
½
cup packed mint leaves
Small pinch kosher salt
3
cups frozen raspberries, thawed
1. Prepare simple syrup with the water and sugar by adding both to a medium
saucepan set over medium-low heat. Cook mixture until the sugar is fully
dissolved.
2. Once the simple syrup is ready, remove from heat and add the mint leaves
and salt. Let the mixture steep for 15 to 20 minutes. If you desire a milder
mint flavor, remove and discard the mint leaves after steeping.
3. In a blender, combine the simple syrup/mint texture and the raspberries and
blend the mixture until smooth. (Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer
into a medium bowl. Allow to cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate
at least 2 hours, or overnight).
4. Turn the machine ON, pour mixture into the freezer bowl and let mix until
thickened, resembling a soft serve consistency. Timing can vary between
10 and 25 minutes. Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and place
in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before
serving.
