Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Pernod
two 3-inch strips of lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cantaloupe (about 2 1/2 pounds), seeds and rind discarded and the flesh chopped (about 3 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a saucepan stir together the water, the sugar, the Pernod, and the zest, boil the mixture, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, and simmer it for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, transfer the syrup to a bowl, and chill it, covered, until it is cold. In a blender or food processor purée the cantaloupe, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula, until it is smooth, blend in the cream and the syrup, and force the mixture through a coarse sieve set over a bowl, pressing hard on the solids. Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe cantaloupe: Select cantaloupes that are fragrant and have a deep orange color. Avoid fruits with bruises or soft spots.
  • Chill the cantaloupe: Before making the sherbet, chill the cantaloupe for at least 2 hours. This will help the sherbet freeze more quickly and give it a smoother texture.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help you achieve a smooth and creamy sherbet. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a food processor, but the sherbet may not be as smooth.
  • Don't over-process the sherbet: Once the sherbet has reached the desired consistency, stop blending. Over-processing can make the sherbet icy.
  • Freeze the sherbet for at least 4 hours: This will allow the sherbet to set and firm up. You can freeze the sherbet for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Frosty cantaloupe sherbet is a refreshing and delicious summer treat. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and healthy sherbet that's perfect for a hot summer day.
