Blackcurrant Sorbet
This is a lovely refreshing Spring/Summer dessert that is very easy to make.
ingredients:
450g fresh or frozen blackcurrants
150ml water
125g caster sugar
1 egg white (optional)
How to:
1.Put the blackcurrants and water into a saucepan, cook gently for 10 to 15 minutes until soft.
2. Add the sugar.
3. Pour the mixture into a suitable container and freeze until solid around the edges or put it into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
WITHOUT AN ICE-CREAM MAKER:
If you're making the sorbet WITHOUT an ice-cream maker, you can make it lighter by adding egg white before the mixture freezes completely.
Whisk the egg white until stiff and whisk into the semi-frozen blackcurrant puree to make a fluffy mixture. Pour the mixture back into the container and free again until solid.
Take the sorbet out the freezer 30 minutes before eating.
