Ben Jerry S Raspberry Sorbet Recipes

FRESH RASPBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Combine berries with sugar and citrus juice, crushing them lightly with the back of a spoon.
• Let rest at least 30 minutes, or until the berries release their juice (If using frozen berries, allow to rest until thawed).
• Transfer berries and juice to a food processor and blend until smooth; strain puree, if desired, then chill until cold.
• Freeze puree in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
• When frozen, transfer to a freezer container, press a piece of wax paper to top, and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.

RASPBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Put the sugar and water in a pot and heat until the sugar dissolves.
• This is likely to happen before the water boils.
• Do not stir, but instead set the mixture aside to cool and then put in the fridge until it is completely cold.
• Afterwards, mix the berries, cold syrup and creme de cassis in a food processor or blender.
• Whiz until smooth and then, if desired, push through a sieve to remove the seeds.
• You can leave the seeds in if you like a little crunch in your sorbet.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker.
• You can also do it by hand, stirring the frozen edges into the center every hour or so until it is nearly frozen.
• However, the texture will not be as velvety as in an ice cream maker.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Push raspberries through fine metal sieve; set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, honey, and 2 cups water.
• Over medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar.
• Add cocoa; cook stirring constantly, 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat, whisk in chocolate and then the raspberry puree.
• Chill in freezer 30 minutes.
• Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to manufacturers directions.

TOTALLY THE QUICKEST, SIMPLEST MIXED BERRY SORBET EVER

Steps:

• place half the bag of berries in the blender with about half the water and all the sugar.
• mix until chunks are gone (you might have to work the blender action a bit, depending on how powerful your blender is).
• gradually add the remainder of fruit and water.
• mix until smooth and serve immediately.
• *if necessary, add more water to aid in blender-mixing.
• *if sorbet is not as firm as you wish, place in freezer for 20 minutes or so and stir before serving.
