Easiest recipe for sorbets and ice cream...
Lemon ice cream
* 1 large lemon, zest grated and juice squeezed out
* 7oz Caster sugar
* 8fl oz milk
* 8fl oz cream
Prepare a loaf tin by lining it with cling film, (allow cling film to flap over the edge).
Combine the zest and sugar
Stir in the milk until the sugar is dissolved
Stir in the lemon juice
Whip the cream
Fold the cream into the mixture and pour into the loaf tin
Freeze for 3 hrs
This also works really well with Seville oranges
but you need to use 3 Seville oranges, 7oz caster sugar and 1 pint of double cream.
Raspberry Ice
225 gms raspberries
185 ml sugar syrup (cooled)
Juice of a lemon
Blast raspberries and sugar syrup in a blender.
Seive to remove pips (it's worth pushing the fruit through the seive with a spoon)
Add lemon juice
Freeze in a plastic container, stirring every half hour until it is frozen.
Mango Sorbet
250 ml Mango pulp (tinned)
185gm sugar syrup (cooled)
1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice (2 if you want it to be less sweet)
Make sugar syrup by simmering 300 gm sugar and 150ml water together very gently.
Add lemon juice and mango pulp
Freeze in a plastic container for 5 - 10 hrs stirring occasionally (at least twice) to break up any ice crystals.
Have fun!
