Tip about making sorbet - Mare749 - 07-12-2013
Saw this on Cooks Country last night. They were making raspberry sorbet. First of all, they strained it so that the seeds wouldn't be in the sorbet. I'll definately do this next time.
The second tip is to take 1 cup of your liquid and put it in the freezer. Put the rest of the mixture in the fridge. In a few hours when the mix in the freezer is all frozen, it will have ice crystals in it. When you mix that with the liquid in the fridge, then put it in your ice cream maker, it will freeze faster and somehow the crystals disappear and it all becomes smoother. I don't remember the science behind this, but it's suppose to work.

huh - interesting about chilling a portion of it.
I do strain the fruits that call for it for ice creams so guess I would also for the sorbets. Thanks Maryann.

Good tips! I have too many expenses right now....getting the Cobra fixed being the biggest. But soon I will be getting a new freezer. The old one almost didn't finish last time I used it. I don't want to risk wasting ingredients again.
