Cranberry Sorbet – Cranberry Gelato Recipe

Tart and sweet at the same time.

Cranberries are impossible to find fresh here in Australia, so I turned to the bottled variety of juice for a more than satisfactory base for a tasty fresh gelato.

Cranberry Gelato – Cranberry Sorbet

Ingredients:

• 300g Sugar
• 300ml Water
• 400ml Cranberry Juice (I used ocean spray but any sweetened cranberry juice should work)
• 30ml Lime (1oz) Juice of 1 lime is usually enough
• 1/4 Teaspoon Sorbet Softener (1/2 ml)*

Method:

• Place sugar and water into a saucepan & heat gently, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
• Cool sugar syrup to room temperature and add Cranberry juice and lime juice.
• Chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours at least until cold.
• Process in icecream maker or follow the instructions for making sorbet/gelato without a machine.
• When frozen, transfer from ice cream maker and store in freezer.

*Sorbet softener is optional, if it’s omitted, you may need to take the sorbet out of the freezer 20 minutes before serving to allow it to soften enough to serve.
