CRANBERRY KIR ROYALE

Categories     beverage

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups frozen cranberries, plus 1/2 cup for garnish
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 bottle Champagne

Steps:

  • Add cranberries, orange juice, zest and sugar to a large pan and set over medium heat until berries break-down slightly and liquid is syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes. *Pour into a blender and process, be careful of the hot liquid expanding when you blend - use a towel over the top of the blender.
  • Strain and discard any solids then set aside and cool.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons of cranberry-orange syrup into the bottoms of 4 chilled champagne glasses. Add a few cranberries to each glass and gently top off each glass with Champagne.
  • *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter, tarter flavor than frozen or canned cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Simmer the cranberries gently: When simmering the cranberries, be sure to do so gently over low heat. This will help to prevent the cranberries from bursting and becoming mushy.
  • Strain the cranberry mixture: After simmering the cranberries, be sure to strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. This will remove any skins or seeds from the mixture.
  • Chill the cranberry mixture thoroughly: Before churning the cranberry mixture, be sure to chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator. This will help the mixture to churn more evenly and produce a smoother sorbet.
  • Serve the sorbet immediately: Cranberry sorbet is best served immediately after churning. However, you can also store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sorbet is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The vibrant red color and tart flavor of the cranberries make this sorbet a real showstopper. So next time you are looking for a refreshing and delicious dessert, be sure to give cranberry sorbet a try.
