Strawberry Basil Sorbet Recipes

Steps:

• combine water and preserves, bring to a boil, cook 2 minutes until preserves are melted.
• remove from heat, stir in basil and lemon juice.
• pour into a freezer can or an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
• spoon into a container and freeze 1 hour until firm.

Steps:

• MIX strawberries, preserves, lime juice and salt in large bowl. Allow to set 30 minutes. Pour into blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add basil. Blend 10 seconds. Chill at least 1 hour.
• POUR chilled strawberry mixture into bowl of ice cream maker. Process about 10 minutes or until frozen and thick. Scoop into individual bowls. Drizzle with balsamic reduction. Garnish with basil leaves.
• * Balsamic reduction can be found in the condiment section of grocery stores.
• Sorbet can be stored, tightly covered, in the freezer for up to 1 month. Allow to soften 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Hull and chop fruit, then tip them into a bowl with the sugar and lemon juice. Bring a kettle of hot water to the boil and pour over 300ml boiling water. Leave everything to macerate until cool, then blitz in a food processor until smooth. Push the purée through a sieve.
• Clear a shelf in the freezer and place a sided metal tray in to chill. Pour the mix into the tray and cover with cling film. Freeze the liquid until frozen around the edges and slushy in the middle. Use a fork to break up the ice into smaller crystals. Return the tray to the freezer. Repeat the breaking up process every half hour (at least three times) until it's completely frozen and the texture of snow. For a quicker method: freeze the mixture in an ice tray, then blitz the cubes in a food processor just before serving. The texture will be slightly slushier, but just as delicious.

Steps:

• Place the chopped lemon and sugar in a food processor, and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl.
• Purée the strawberries in a food processor, and add to the lemon mixture, along with the juice of 1 lemon. Taste and add more juice as desired. The lemon flavor should be intense but should not overpower the strawberries. Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn until frozen.

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.
