Rhubarb Sherbet Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place rhubarb in 4-quart nonaluminum baking dish. Cover and bake at 375 degrees until rhubarb is soft, about 25 minutes.
• Remove rhubarb and place with liquid in food processor or mill and puree.
• Combine puree with wine, sugar and lemon juice. Place in ice-cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, or pour into large shallow dish, cover and freeze for about 1 hour or just until edges begin to harden and center is only partly frozen. Remove from freezer and beat in mixing bowl until frothy. Return to dish and cover. Refreeze for about 30 minutes, until mixture begins to harden again. Remove from freezer and beat again. Return to freezer and freeze completely, at least 2 or 3 hours, before serving.

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, water, sugar, lemon zest, ginger, and a heavy pinch of salt in an uncovered, medium, heavy-based saucepan; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb begins to disintegrate, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
• Pour cooled liquid into a blender and process until thoroughly pureed. Transfer to a container, cover, and place in the refrigerator to chill, at least 4 hours. Then transfer the chilled mixture to the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Pour mixture into the blender and blend until color is consistent throughout, about 1 minute.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions for sorbet, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Steps:

• Cut rhubarb into small pieces and simmer with 1/4-cup cider slowly in nonaluminum pan, until soft, about 7 minutes. Pass through a food mill to remove fibers. Return to pan and simmer with remaining cider and honey for 10 to 15 minutes. Chill.
• Prepare sherbet from mixture, using ice cream machine or the ice cube trays of your freezer.
• Serve with compote and whipped cream on the side.

Steps:

• Wash, trim and cut the rhubarb into 1 inch chunks.
• Place rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice and water in a pan and gently cook until soft, around 15-20 minutes.
• Allow rhubarb to cool then blend mixture in a liquidizer until smooth.
• Freeze in an air tight container stirring every hour to prevent ice crystals forming until set, around 4-6 hours. Alternatively use an ice cream maker to churn then store in an air tight container and freeze for around 4 hours until set.
• Lovely served with baked bananas, a nutty cake (especially pistachios) or on its own!

Steps:
