PLUM SORBET WITH SLOE GIN.
I made this last week and it was incredible. I never thought that I'd be able to make a sorbet but this was lovely. When I made it it was a bit grainy, like a granita, which I liked. However, if you have more experience making sorbets I'm sure you can get the texture that you like. I also added a shot of tuica, which is a Romanian plum brandy like slivovica. If you can find this then use it because it intensifies the plum taste. The cooking time is freezing time.

Steps:
- Wash the plums and remove any leaves and stalks. Pierce the plums all over with a fork or the tip of a sharp knife, then halve (leave the stones in). Tip into a large, sterilised, sealable jar (about 2 litres) with a wide neck - the plums should easily fit inside. Alternatively, divide between two smaller jars.
- Sprinkle over 150g sugar and add the gin (reserve the gin bottle if you're planning to decant the plum gin back into it later). Seal the lid and give the jar a good shake. Store in a cool, dark place for at least a month, giving it a shake every few days for the first week or so to mix everything together and dissolve the sugar.
- Check the flavour after a month and continue to infuse if you prefer a stronger flavour - it can be left for up to three months. Or, add another 50g sugar and leave for two or three weeks if you prefer it sweeter. When you're happy with the flavour, strain the gin through a fine mesh cloth or muslin into a clean bottle and discard the fruit (you can also eat the boozy plums alongside sponge cakes or ice cream). Store in a cool, dark place. Drink on its own, in a G&T or mix with lemon juice and sugar syrup for a plum gin sour.

Steps:
- Stir together all ingredients and a pinch of salt in a heavy medium saucepan and cook, covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until plums fall apart, about 25 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and zest. Purée in batches in a blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Force purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Cool, uncovered, then chill, covered, until cold, at least 2 hours.
- Freeze purée in ice cream maker, then transfer sorbet to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 1 hour.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful plums. The quality of your plums will directly impact the flavor of your sorbet. Look for plums that are deeply colored and have a sweet, aromatic smell.
- Use a good-quality sloe gin. Sloe gin is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good-quality brand. Look for a sloe gin that is made with fresh sloe berries and has a rich, complex flavor.
- Chill your sorbet base before churning. This will help the sorbet to freeze more quickly and smoothly.
- Churn the sorbet until it is thick and creamy. This will take about 20-30 minutes. If you churn the sorbet for too long, it will become icy.
- Freeze the sorbet for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the sorbet to fully set and develop its flavor.
Conclusion:
Plum sorbet with sloe gin is a delicious and refreshing summer treat. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you're looking for a unique and flavorful sorbet recipe, this is the one for you.
