this sorbet is so easy to make and a great treat for a hot summer day! The vodka (or any other type of alcohol) is the secret to a soft sorbet. Alcohol itself does not freeze and adding a little bit keeps the sorbet from doing the same. Vodka is excellent to use because it doesn't affect the taste. You have got to try it!!!! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 1/2 cups water |
1/2 cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped |
1 1/3 cups fresh lemon juice |
3 tablespoons vodka |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add rosemary, cover, and let stand approximately 10 minutes or until cool. 2. Place a fine strainer over a large bowl and pour syrup mixture through (straining out the rosemary leaves). Add lemon juice and vodka to the strained syrup mixture; stir until thoroughly blended. 3. Pour into container, cover, and place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover and refreeze until serving time. 4. NOTE: Can be prepared 3 days in advance. Cover and keep frozen. 5. Makes 8 to 10 servings. |
