We still have several bags of frozen fruit in our freezer, so they are next on the clear-it-out list. What better way to use up some frozen fruit than by making up a batch of sorbet? I've been intrigued by the idea of making a sorbet with our Vitamix, so last night I gave it a whirl. Long story short, it was super easy, and the resulting sorbet was really delicious. I think there might be a lot more sorbets in our future this summer.
Strawberry-Lime Sorbet (printer-friendly version)
makes six servings
1 lb frozen whole strawberries
1/2 lime, peeled
1/8 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
fresh mint [optional]
1. Add the ingredients to a Vitamix blender.
2. Start the blender on low, variable 1. Quickly switch to high, and turn up to variable 10.
3. Use the plunger to press the ingredients into the blades. Blend for 30-45 seconds, or until four mounds form. Don't overblend, or you'll end up with not-so-frozen sorbet.
4. Serve immediately. Add a mint garnish if you're feeling particularly fancy.
