Fabulous Fat-Free Fruit Sorbet
30
People talking
This is such a wonderful summertime treat! I have used all kinds of fruit combinations in this; use your imagination. Far richer and intense in flavour than anything you can buy, and yet it's almost all just healthy fruit. The fruits that work best have a fairly smooth fleshy texture; things like mangoes, muskmelons, peaches, apricots, and bananas. But also good are strawberries, pineapple, blueberries and the like. Seedy or watery fruits can be used, but it is best to use them mixed with something that has a smoother denser texture, and to use less of them. Cook time is tempering time, but prep time does not include freezing time.

- Make sure everything is as spread out as possible.
- Cover with more plastic wrap.
- Freeze overnight.
- Whiz the fruit through a food processor until very finely chopped.
- Add the sugar and lemon juice, adjusting either according to the sweetness and acidity levels of the fruit you are working with; if you use pineapple use orange juice or water instead of lemon or lime juice and add a little vanilla extract if it seems appropriate.

Oh Soo good. It was exquisite. So decadent. I used 2 cups strawberries, 1 cup raspberries and 1 cup blueberries with 1 1/2 Tbs. sugar and a squirt of agava syrup Opps I forgot to mention I also used the lemon, Lime combo but only what I thought it needed.Reply

I used strawberries, bananas, orange juice and honey and it came out great! However, the frozen fruit massacred my cheapo food processor. Next time, I'll skip that step and use fresh fruit instead.Reply
