CONCORD GRAPE SORBET

This sorbet gets its intense purple hue from Concord grapes, which have a deep blue-black skin. The longer you process it in the ice-cream maker, the lighter and fluffier your final product will be. Sugar cones are ideal containers for serving the sorbet al fresco.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 pounds Concord grapes (1 quart container)
1/4 cup water
2/3 cup Simple Syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Combine grapes and the water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the liquid begins to bubble and grapes start releasing liquid, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat, and simmer until juices are dark purple and grapes begin to break apart, about 3 minutes.
  • Pass mixture through a food mill and then through a fine sieve into a large bowl set in the ice bath; stir frequently until completely cool. Stir in simple syrup and lemon juice.
  • Transfer mixture to an ice-cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container, and store in the freezer until ready to serve, up to 2 weeks.

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 pounds Concord grapes (about 2 quarts), stemmed, divided
3/4 cup superfine granulated sugar
Equipment: an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Purée half of grapes in a blender until smooth, then force through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Repeat with remaining grapes to yield 3 cups purée. Whisk in sugar until dissolved. Chill until very cold, 3 to 6 hours.
  • Freeze in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to firm up, at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Fresh Concord grapes are ideal for making sorbet, as they provide the best flavor and texture.
  • To easily remove the grape skins, blanch the grapes in boiling water for a few seconds before transferring them to an ice bath.
  • Use a food processor or blender to purée the grapes until smooth. This will help create a creamy and consistent sorbet.
  • Add sugar or a sugar substitute to taste. The amount of sweetener you use will depend on the sweetness of your grapes.
  • If you want a more tart sorbet, add some lemon juice or lime juice.
  • Freeze the sorbet mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • For a softer sorbet, churn it every 30 minutes or so during the freezing process.
  • Once the sorbet is frozen, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Concord grape sorbet is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
