Blackberry Black Tea Sorbet Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring 1 cup sugar and 2 cups water to a boil. Let cool slightly then measure out 2 cups. Combine the 2 cups with the lemon juice and chill.
• Meanwhile in a saucepan, place the blackberries with 1 tablespoon of water and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down to a simmer, stirring often to reduce to a thick puree. Strain, if desired and chill the puree.
• Spin the chilled sorbet mixture in your ice cream maker then place in a frozen bowl. Fold in the chilled blackberry puree lightly to swirl it. Freeze until ready to enjoy.

Steps:

• Wash blackberries well in a strainer, removing all traces of dirt and grit. Remove any stems or caps. Drain.
• In a blender, whirl blackberries until puréed.
• [Optional step and original to recipe (NOTE: *I skipped this part*): Pour the pureed blackberries through a fine strainer into a bowl, pressing pulp with a spatula to extract as much juice as possible; you should have 2 cups purée. Discard solids.].
• Whisk tea, sugar, lemon juice and ginger together into the blackberry purée. Cover and chill until cold, at least 3 hours or up to 1 day.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker (at least 1 1/2-qt. capacity) according to manufacturer's instructions until machine stops or dasher is hard to turn.
• Transfer sorbet to an airtight container and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
• If desired, garnish each serving with a flower/flowering herb (non-toxic ones of course.), mint leaves, etc.
• Prep time does not include chilling.

Steps:

• Combine water, sugar, and creme de cassis in a medium bowl. Stir until sugar granules are completely dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Combine berries and lemon juice in a blender; process to a smooth puree.
• Set a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Pour small batches of the berry puree into the strainer, stirring vigorously to force the liquid into the bowl. Discard the seeds once most of the liquid has been removed.
• Stir the berry puree into the sugar mixture until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about 4 hours.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until until stiff peaks form. Remove the puree from the freezer and whisk until slushy. Fold egg whites into the puree until just blended. Cover and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender, blend the blackberries and honey until thoroughly combined. Pour into a rectangular loaf pan and smooth into an even layer.
• Freeze for 2 hours, or until frozen but still soft enough for scooping. If freezing overnight, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and let it sit out at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the water, corn syrup, and sugar; place pan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Increas the heat and boil without stirring for 1 minute.
• Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
• Place the sugar syrup, blackberries, lime juice, and liqueur in a blender; process until smooth.
• If desired, pour the puree through a strainer to remove the seeds.
• Cover and refrigerate until cold.
• Stir the chilled berry puree, then freeze in batches (if necessary) in your ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions.
• When finished, the sorbet will be soft but ready to eat.
• For firmer sorbet, transfer mixture to a freezer container; freeze several hours.
