Equipment
- Blender
- 1l jug
- Fine meshed sieve
- Silicone spatula
- Silicone muffin tin (start shaped or other) or 1l freezer proof container with lid
Ingredients
- 500 g frozen or fresh raspberries
- 200 g honey
- 1 orange juice only
- 1 lemon juice only
- 1-2 tsp cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Defrost your raspberries (if using frozen) 2 hours before you need to use them. I like to spread them out on a plate so that they will defrost faster.
- Place all of the ingredients in a blender and whizz for 1 minute or until the mixture is completely liquid.
- Place a fine mesh sieve on a jug and pour a small quantity of the raspberry mixture into the sieve. Press the mixture through the sieve using a silicone spatula until all that is left in the sieve is seeds. Discard the seeds and repeat the process until all of the raspberry mixture has been sieved.
- Now you can either pour the mixture into a freezer proof container or into a silicone muffin tin/mould which will give you individual portions. I like to use my star shaped moulds for this, for an especially festive feel. Depending on how deep your moulds are, you will obtain around 16 individual portions. Make sure you place your silicone mould onto a baking tray before filling it so that it is easier to transfer to the freezer.
- Next, transfer your sorbet mixture to the freezer. If you have use a silicone muffin mould, the sorbet will probably be ready in around 4 hours but if you use a large container it will take a lot longer, more like 8 hours. In either case, I recommend making the sorbet the day before you intend to serve it so that you can be sure that your sorbet is frozen solid in time for dessert!
- To serve, remove the sorbet from the freezer 10 minutes before you want to eat it. If using the individual portion method, transfer each portion to a plate as soon as you take it out of the freezer, and let it soften on the plate for 10 mins before serving.
- If you have used a larger container and would like to do boules of sorbet, remove the container from the freezer at least 20 mins, before you would like to serve it and let it soften before you try and use an ice cream scoop to serve it. You may also find that dipping the ice cream scoop in hot water first will help to make nice boules of sorbet.
