Description
A refreshing rhubarb sorbet perfect for hot summer days!
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups chopped rhubarb (Use tender stalks for the best flavor.)
- ¾ cup water (Helps to soften the rhubarb while cooking.)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (Can be adjusted to taste.)
- ½ cup lemon juice (Freshly squeezed adds a fresh zing; bottled juice can be used in a pinch.)
Instructions
- Clean the rhubarb, remove any leafy pieces from the top, and chop off about an inch from the lower stem. Chop the rhubarb into ½” chunks.
- Add the rhubarb, water, sugar, and lemon juice to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the rhubarb is tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Stir occasionally until the rhubarb pieces are soft and break apart easily.
- Transfer the mixture to a sealed container and refrigerate overnight, or place the rhubarb bowl into a bowl of ice water and stir to cool quickly.
- Once fully chilled, blend the mixture until completely smooth using a high-speed blender or immersion blender.
- Pass through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fibrous pieces for a creamier texture, if desired.
- Add the blended mixture to a metal loaf pan or cake pan, cover with plastic wrap and then foil, and freeze for at least 8 hours (overnight is best).
- Once set, scoop and serve your delightful rhubarb sorbet to family and friends.
Notes
- Using fresh, tender rhubarb will enhance the flavor of the sorbet.
- Adjust the sugar based on your personal taste preference.
- For a smoother texture, ensure that you blend the mixture thoroughly and strain it well.
