This is my new favorite frozen summertime treat. This recipe is easy, requires no cooking and cooling of the blueberries and yields a smooth and velvety sherbet packed with fresh, natural blueberry flavor.

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups blueberries
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Make sure your ice cream maker's freezer bowl is frozen solid (you don't want to hear even the slightest sloshing noise when shaken). Keep in the freezer until absolutely ready to pour mixture into the machine.
  • Into a 5-quart capacity food processor, using the chopping blade, place blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Puree until smooth and foamy. Then pour in heavy whipping cream and pulse 3-5 times until mixture thickens slightly.
  • Using a fine wire mesh sieve, strain for a smoother consistency. If you don't mind a naturally pulpy texture, don't worry about straining.
  • Place mixture into the freezer tub of your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturers instructions for freezing. It took only 15 minutes for my machine to churn and freeze.
  • With a spatula, turn sherbet into a freezer container. Freeze for 3-5 hours or until desired texture.

SIMPLY BLUEBERRY SORBET



Simply Blueberry Sorbet image

Editor's note: This recipe is adapted from Gabrielle Carbone, coproprietor of The Bent Spoon ice cream parlor in Princeton, New Jersey. This recipe makes a luscious, blue-purple sorbet that's perfect for our red, white, and blue cake. It's a pretty simple recipe - the quality comes from fresh, organic berries picked at the height of their flavor. The quality of the water is important as well - if your water has a bad aftertaste, so will your sorbet - so we recommend using bottled. The optional egg white helps to stabilize, emulsify, and preserve the texture of the sorbet if you are going to keep it in your freezer for a few days. Also optional is straining. At the shop, we don't strain - we like to keep the fruit as close to its natural state as possible. But if you dislike bits of seeds in your sorbet, feel free to strain the base before chilling it.

Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water, preferably spring water
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 pints (about 2 pounds or 6 cups) fresh-picked blueberries, preferably organic, rinsed and patted dry
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 large egg white, preferably farm-fresh (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and salt. Cook, stirring, until the sugar and salt have dissolved, about 3 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.
  • In a blender, purée the blueberries with the syrup and lemon juice until very smooth (you may need to divide this into several batches if your blender is not extra-large). If desired, strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Add the egg white, if using, during the last 2 to 3 minutes of churning. If making the ice cream cake , immediately pack into the pan. Or store, tightly covered, in the freezer.
  • Variation: Blueberry-pomegranate sorbet:
  • Replace 1/4 cup of the water with pure pomegranate juice (we recommend either Pom Wonderful or Knudsen's 100% Pomegranate Juice).

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh blueberries. Frozen blueberries can also be used, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can mash the blueberries with a fork or potato masher.
  • Add more honey or sugar to taste, if desired.
  • You can also add other fruits to this sherbet, such as raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
  • Serve the sherbet immediately, or freeze it for later.

Conclusion:

This easy and refreshing blueberry sherbet is the perfect summer treat. It's made with just a few simple ingredients, and it's packed with flavor. Whether you serve it immediately or freeze it for later, this sherbet is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
