Sorbets Desserts

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ pounds (560g) Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled and cubed
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 ½ lemons, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish, optional

Method

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the water, sugar, apples and lemon juice to a simmer. Stir constantly to help the sugar dissolve.
  2. Once all of the sugar has dissolved, remove the mixture from the heat and cool it to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  3. Liquidise the mixture with a stick blender.
  4. Freeze in an airtight container, using a fork to agitate the mixture every hour so it freezes evenly.
  5. Remove from the freezer for a few minute before serving to allow to soften.
  6. If using an ice-cream maker, chill the mixture for at least 2 hours then pour the chilled sorbet base into your ice-cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
