Unique Spiced Plum Sorbet Recipe

Introducing: Spiced Plum Sorbet

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and refreshing recipe for spiced plum sorbet. As the weather starts to warm up, I find myself craving something cool and tangy to enjoy in the evenings. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of ripe plums with a blend of warm spices for a deliciously unexpected treat.

Preparation

To make this spiced plum sorbet, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Ripe plums, pitted and chopped (500g)
• Granulated sugar (150g)
• Lemon juice (1 lemon)
• Cinnamon stick (1 stick)
• Star anise pods (2 pods)

You’ll also need the following kitchen tools:

• blender
• saucepan
• fine mesh sieve
• ice cream maker

Start by combining the chopped plums, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, and star anise pods in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar has dissolved and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let the plums soften for about 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before removing the cinnamon stick and star anise pods.
Next, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining skins or lumps.

Chilling and Freezing

Once your plum mixture is strained, transfer it to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The sorbet will be ready when it reaches a smooth, frozen consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to set further.

Serving

When you’re ready to serve, scoop the spiced plum sorbet into bowls or cones. The sorbet may be slightly firm, so you can let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften or use a hot scoop for easy serving.

Tips and Tricks

For an extra burst of flavor, try serving your spiced plum sorbet with a sprig of fresh mint or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top. The warm spices complement the cool, tangy plum perfectly.

Overall, this spiced plum sorbet recipe yields approximately 750g of sorbet, with about 5 servings. Each serving is around 150g and comes in at approximately 180 calories.
