My first attempt was a rose-raspberry sorbet. It was alright but not spectacular. I will retry it in the summer as I suspect it could work nicely after a barbeque. My second attempt was lemon sorbet. I was making a pasta sauce (spicy meatballs and tomato) so I thought a lemon sorbet would be a great dessert and tie in nicely with the pasta.<\/p>\n<p>This is my favorite recipe for lemon sorbet, the addition of gelatin makes the sorbet a bit less icy and more smooth. The addition of milk makes it a touch more creamy again and gives it a nice snowy white color. I reckon it makes about 600 ml or so, should be enough for about four people.<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients for the lemon sorbet:<br \/>1 leaf of gelatine<br \/>150 ml caster sugar<br \/>100 ml water<br \/>100 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3-4 small lemons, I used a little bit more than 100 ml since I don&#8217;t like my lemon sorbet too sweet)<br \/>100 ml whole milk<\/p>\n<p>Preparing the lemon sorbet:<br \/>Put the leaf of gelatine in a bowl with cold water and let it soak for 5 minutes. Mix the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil, when it reaches boiling point turn of the heat.<br \/>Add the gelatin leaf to the syrup and stir until it&#8217;s melted.<br \/>Let the mixture cool to room temperature (don&#8217;t make it go cold since it will set).<br \/>Add the lemon juice and milk and mix properly.<br \/>Freeze in ice cream maker according to your ice cream makers instructions (probably around 30-45 minutes).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got an ice cream maker at Christmas so I have slowly been experimenting with ice creams and sorbets when&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[112,154,122,128],"class_list":["post-301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-desserts","tag-desserts","tag-gelato","tag-ice-cream","tag-sorbet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/axelakesson.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/axelakesson.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/axelakesson.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/axelakesson.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/axelakesson.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/axelakesson.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":475,"href":"http:\/\/axelakesson.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301\/revisions\/475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/axelakesson.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/axelakesson.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/axelakesson.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
