Luscious Ruby Red Raspberry Sorbet Recipes

Steps:

• Put the sugar and water in a pot and heat until the sugar dissolves.
• This is likely to happen before the water boils.
• Do not stir, but instead set the mixture aside to cool and then put in the fridge until it is completely cold.
• Afterwards, mix the berries, cold syrup and creme de cassis in a food processor or blender.
• Whiz until smooth and then, if desired, push through a sieve to remove the seeds.
• You can leave the seeds in if you like a little crunch in your sorbet.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker.
• You can also do it by hand, stirring the frozen edges into the center every hour or so until it is nearly frozen.
• However, the texture will not be as velvety as in an ice cream maker.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar, water, and red wine to a boil and let boil for 1 minute, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and add the raspberries. Cover and let steep for 1 hour.
• To purée the berries and remove the seeds, using a rubber spatula, press the mixture through a mesh strainer set over a medium bowl or pass it through a food mill fitted with a fine disk into a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Variation:
• For a lighter-tasting sorbet, use rosé in place of the red wine.

Steps:

• Bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a large saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Let syrup cool.
• Pulse raspberries and remaining 3/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons water in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve set in a deep bowl or a large glass measuring cup. Using a rubber spatula, gently press down on the mixture to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids.
• Transfer raspberry puree to a deep bowl or airtight container. Add syrup, and stir until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturers' instructions. Transfer sorbet to a large airtight container, and freeze for at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Place sugar and water into a medium saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until sugar is dissolves. Bring mixture to a rolling boil. Continue to boil for 10-15 minutes or until a thin, syrup consistency is reached (syrup should coat the back of a spoon). Set aside to cool. Then pour into a separate container and refrigerate until completely chilled (about 2 hours).
• Place raspberries, simple syrup and lime juice in a 5-quart food processor. Using a chopping blade, puree until mixture is smooth and frothy.
• Using a fine wire mesh sieve, strain mixture to separate the seeds to reach a smoother consistency. Repeat if necessary.
• Place mixture into the freezer tub of your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturers instructions for freezing. It took only 15 minutes for my machine to churn and freeze.
• With a rubber spatula, turn sorbet into a freezer container. Freeze for 3-5 hours or until desired texture is reached.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Cool completely. Combine the grapefruit juice, zest and sugar/water mixture with the vodka and optional grenadine (for color) in a metal bowl. Chill in the refrigerator or by placing the metal bowl over a larger bowl filled with ice water until 40°F. Pour chilled mixture into container of an ice cream machine and churn until frozen. Scoop frozen sorbet into a container. Seal and transfer container to freezer for several hours to allow sorbet to firm up. (Sorbet can be kept frozen for up to 3 days.)
