Rhubarb Star Anise Sorbet Recipes

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:

• 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!
