Passion Fruit Tangerine Sorbet Food

PASSION FRUIT SORBET

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Let cool, and stir in passion fruit puree. Transfer to an ice-cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. The sorbet can be stored in the freezer in an airtight plastic container for up to a week.

CAMPARI AND PASSIONFRUIT SORBET

Steps:

• Place the water and sugar in a pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while. Halve the passion fruits and scoop out the flesh, seeds and juice using a spoon. Stir this up--you can pass it through a sieve to remove the seeds, but quite frankly I think that's palaver (nonsense). I like the seeds. Mix the passion fruit with the Campari and sugar syrup in a plastic tub or earthenware dish and place in the freezer. Generally, sorbet takes 2 hours to set. Try to stir it around every 1/2 hour if you remember. Serve on its own, with some seasonal fruit, or in a cone with some vanilla ice cream.;

PASSIONFRUIT AND ORANGE SORBET

Steps:

• Combine orange juice, passionfruit pulp, sugar and liqueur in a large bowl.
• using electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; using metal spoon, gradually fold egg whites into orange juice mixture.
• pour into ice cream maker and chill/churn for about 30 minutes.

PASSION FRUIT-TANGERINE SORBET

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, warm 1 cup of the tangerine juice with the sugar, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and add the remaining tangerine juice, the passion fruit pulp or purée, and the Champagne, other sparkling wine, or vodka. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Variation
• To make TANGERINE SORBET, omit the passion fruit juice and use a total of 4 cups (1 liter) freshly squeezed tangerine juice.
• tip
• To strain fresh passion fruit pulp, halve the fruits, scoop the pulp into a strainer set over a bowl, and press the pulp to separate the seeds from the juice. Save a few of the seeds and mix them into the sorbet just after churning.
