Lemon Mint SorbetJuly 20th, 2010 @ 8:11 am
yep, it has happened again. I’ve been too lazy to update my blog lately, even though I have loads of recipes I still want to share with you guys. But I’ll try to make it up to you. My 3 week holiday has started so I should have plenty of time to put everything online
First of all I want to share this amazing Lemon Mint Sorbet recipe that I tried yesterday, it’s soo good and easy to make (no ice cream machine needed), I think I’m already addicted to it. I found the recipe on Jamie Oliver’s website. I had some leftover lemons that urgently needed to be used, and this was perfect, especially with the hot weather. I only made a small batch since I only had 3 lemons and no limes, but it was still so good, and I ate almost all of it already. I think I’ll have to buy some more lemons and limes today
***UPDATE***: I made a new batch yesterday for the pictures today. This time I made it with the limes and it was again soooooooooo good. Seriously, the glasses for the the pictures were empty in less than 30 seconds :-p
Ingredients (for 4 portions)
200g sugar
275ml water
zest and juice of 5 limes
zest and juice of 5 lemons
a small bunch of fresh mint
Place the sugar and water in a pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while. Zest and squeeze your limes and lemons and chop your mint. Mix everything together in a plastic or earthenware container and place in the freezer.
Generally a sorbet takes 2 hours to set. Try to stir it around every 30 minutes if you remember
Ingredienten (voor 4 porties)
200g (riet)suiker
275ml water
zest en sap van 5 limoenen
zest en sap van 5 citroenen
een bosje verse munt
Doe het water en de suiker in een pan, breng aan de kook en laat ongeveer 5 minuten koken tot de suiker helemaal opgelost is. Haal van ‘t vuur en laat eventjes afkoelen
Zest en pers het sap uit de limoenen en citroenen en snij de muntblaadjes fijn. Meng alles te samen in een plastieken doos en plaats in de diepvriezer.
Normaal gezien duurt ‘t ongeveer 2 uur eer ‘t sorbet genoeg bevroren is. Probeer er om ‘t half uur eens door te roeren.
