Strawberry Sorbet With Balsamic Vinegar Recipes

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:

• In a small non-reactive saucepan, bring the vinegar to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Cook until it is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and cool.
• Place the halved strawberries in a blender or food processor.
• Process until very smooth.
• Pass the puree through a fine-mesh sieve placed over a bowl, pressing firmly on the solids with a rubber spatula or the back of a wooden spoon to extract all the juice.
• Discard the pulp; add the balsamic reduction and honey to the puree and stir to combine.
• Cover and refrigerate until cold.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Store in the freezer until ready to serve or for up to 2 days.
• Spoon into individual bowls and garnish with the chopped strawberries.

Steps:

• Thirty minutes to an hour before serving, combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside at room temperature.
• Place a serving of the strawberries in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream on top and dust lightly with lemon zest.

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine honey and water - heat just until combined and remove from heat. Meanwhile, heat balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat. Let simmer until reduced by half. Stir into honey simple syrup. Set aside. In a food processor or blender purée strawberries and lemon until smooth. You may have to work in batches. Pour into a large bowl and stir in balsamic honey simple syrup mixture. Place in fridge 2-3 hours until thoroughly chilled. Pour into your ice cream maker's canister and prepare per its instructions. For example, I filled the canister no higher than the "fill line", placed the cover firmly over the canister, and placed the canister into the center of the bucket. After assembling the motor over the canister, I insert the dasher/mixer shaft in the center and lock the motor. I let the motor run 2 minutes before adding ice and salt to the bucket. When ready, I add 2 inches of ice to the bottom of the bucket and uniformly sprinkle ½ cup rock salt over the ice. I repeat these ice/salt layers until the canister is covered. Let the sorbet mixture churn for 20-40 minutes until the motor slows or stops. Unplug the motor, remove any salt/ice from the cover before removing. Take out the dasher and scrape with a spatula and scrape into freezer safe storage containers. I use Mason jars. And lots of them! This recipe will yield about 8 pints of sorbet. Remove stored sorbet from freezer at least 10 minutes before serving, letting it sit at room temperature. Serve as-is or with a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Keeps well for two weeks, any longer than that will reduce freshness and flavor.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a freezer-safe container; freeze until firm.

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a bowl. Drizzle vinegar over strawberries, and sprinkle with sugar. Stir gently to combine. Cover, and let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour but not more than 4 hours. Just before serving, grind pepper over berries.
