Clove-Wine Sorbet Recipe
Recipe Type:
Sorbet,
Wine
Cuisine: Italian
Yields: 10 to 12 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Ingredients:
1/2 cup granulated
sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons whole cloves
1/2 cup dry white
wine
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed
lemon juice
Preparation:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat
to low, add cloves, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. When cool, strain and discard cloves.
Add wine and lemon juice to the sugar syrup; stir until thoroughly blended.
NOTE: The wine (or any other type of alcohol) is the secret to a soft sorbet. Alcohol itself does not freeze and adding a little bit keeps the sorbet from doing the same.
Ice Cream Maker - Transfer mixture to ice cream maker, process according to manufacturer's instructions.
Freezer Method
- Pour into container, cover, and place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover and refreeze until serving time.
NOTE: Can be prepared 3 days in advance. Cover and keep
frozen.
Makes 10 to 12 servings.
