Strawberry Kiwi Sorbet
3/4 C. plus 2 T. sugar
3/4 C. water
3-4 medium-size ripe kiwis
1 C. sliced fresh strawberries
juice of 1 lime
1/2 t. vanilla extract
Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and place over low
heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Raise the heat and boil for 1
minute. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Peel the kiwis and cut into quarters. Place the kiwis and the berry
slices in blender with the cooled syrup, lime juice and vanilla.
Blend on low until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.
Refrigerate until cold, or overnight.
Stir the chilled mixture, then freeze in one or two batches in an
ice cream maker according to the maker's instructions. When
finished, the sorbet will be soft but ready to eat; for a firmer
texture, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze at least 2
hours. |
