Fresh Raspberry Sorbet Recipes

RASPBERRY SORBET OR GRANITA

Steps:

• Place raspberries in work bowl of a food processor, and process until smooth. If an extra smooth sorbet is desired, press pureed raspberries through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Whisk together pureed raspberries and honey in a large bowl.
• Combine 3 cups of water, sugar, and corn syrup in a large saucepan; stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes; do not stir. Stir the sugar water and the remaining 1 cup of water into the raspberry puree.
• Make an ice bath by filling a very large bowl with water and ice. Set the bowl of raspberry puree in the ice bath, and whisk until cool. Pour cooled puree into a 9x13 baking dish, and cover; freeze until solid, 6 to 8 hours.
• To make a coarsely textured granita, use a fork to scrape frozen puree into small crumbs. For a deliciously silky sorbet, transfer frozen puree to a food processor and process until smooth.

FRESH RASPBERRY SHERBET

Steps:

• In a medium nonreactive saucepan, cook the fresh raspberries, water, sugar, and salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture just begins to simmer, about 7 minutes.
• Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
• Add the lemon juice and Triple Sec or vodka; cover with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until very cold, about 40º, about 30-40 minutes. Do not let mixture freeze.
• When the mixture is cold, using a whisk, whip the cream in a chilled medium bowl until soft peaks form. Whisking constantly, add the chilled juice mixture in a steady stream pouring against the edge of the bowl.
• Immediately start the ice cream machine and add the juice/cream mixture to the frozen canister; churn until the sherbet has the texture of soft-serve ice cream, 25-30 minutes.
• Remove the canister from the machine and transfer the sherbet to a storage container; press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the sherbet (to prevent ice crystals from forming) and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours. The sherbet can be wrapped well in plastic wrap and frozen for up to one week.
• To serve, let the sherbet stand at room temperature until slightly softened and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sherbet registers 12º to 15º.
