Strawberry And Lavender Sorbet Recipes

SWEET AND SILKY STRAWBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Place berries in the work bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. Combine berry puree, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Heat until melted and just simmering. Whisk cornstarch into the cold water; stir into heated berry mixture. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice. Cool slightly. Refrigerate berry mixture until cold, about 2 hours.
• Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

LAVENDER LEMON SORBET

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat mix all ingredients together and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until well chilled.
• Strain mixture and pour into an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
• Note: I read Rita's review of another Lavender Sorbet and learned that she used ice cubes to create the sorbet. You can try that here if you like, reducing the water by half and chilling the cooked mixture. Then add ice cubes and blend. Add more cubes if you think it needs it. If you try this method please let me know so I can give more accurate directions. Thanks!
