Fresh Raspberry Sorbet Food

RASPBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a large saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Let syrup cool.
• Pulse raspberries and remaining 3/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons water in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve set in a deep bowl or a large glass measuring cup. Using a rubber spatula, gently press down on the mixture to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids.
• Transfer raspberry puree to a deep bowl or airtight container. Add syrup, and stir until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturers' instructions. Transfer sorbet to a large airtight container, and freeze for at least 2 hours.

RASPBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Put the sugar and 270ml water in a saucepan over a low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Raise the heat and simmer for 5 mins, or until the liquid has become a syrup. Set aside to cool.
• Put the raspberries and lemon juice in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and discard the seeds. Combine with the sugar syrup, then pour into freezer-proof container.
• Freeze for 1 hr 30 mins, then whisk with a balloon whisk or a fork to break up any ice crystals that have formed and return to the freezer.
• Keep mixing the sorbet once an hour for 4 hrs to break up the ice crystals. Stop mixing when firm but scoopable. Will keep in the freezer for up to a month. Serve with extra raspberries, if you like.

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 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 FOR TWO

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine all ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Pour into 2 dessert dishes. Cover and freeze for 1 hour or until edges begin to firm. Stir and return to freezer. Freeze 1-1/2 hours longer or until firm. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with raspberries.

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.

• Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a freezer container; freeze until firm.

RASPBERRY SORBET WITH FRESH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Stir together water & 1/4 cup sugar until sugar dissolves. (I added more sugar than 1/4 cup b/c raspberries are very tart when frozen).
• Pulse raspberries in a food processor until coarsely chopped. With machine running, pour in sugar-water; pulse until mixture is smooth. Transfer to an airtight container, freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk cream & remaining tablespoon sugar until soft peaks form. (This portion of the recipe did not work for me. Maybe I needed more sugar than just a tablespoon, but I ended up using cool whip).
• Scoop sorbet into 4 glasses, & top with whipped cream.

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.

BLACK RASPBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Combine water, sugar, and creme de cassis in a medium bowl. Stir until sugar granules are completely dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Combine berries and lemon juice in a blender; process to a smooth puree.
• Set a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Pour small batches of the berry puree into the strainer, stirring vigorously to force the liquid into the bowl. Discard the seeds once most of the liquid has been removed.
• Stir the berry puree into the sugar mixture until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about 4 hours.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until until stiff peaks form. Remove the puree from the freezer and whisk until slushy. Fold egg whites into the puree until just blended. Cover and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
