JULIA CHILD'S APRICOT SHERBET (MOUSSE A L'ABRICOT GLACEE)



Julia Child's Apricot Sherbet (Mousse a L'abricot Glacee) image

This recipe is from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol.2. "Easy, delicious, and available all year round is apricot sherbet made from canned apricots. Timing is about 4 to 5 hours, but it is easier to be liesurely and start the mousse the day before serving." Note: Personally I would use my food processor instead of a food mill and I'm sure you could use one of those wonderful little ice cream makers instead of the freezer, but I have never done it. I have adapted the directions to make your life easier. T.J.

Time 20m

Yield 1/2 cup, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups water
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 lbs fresh apricots, halved and pitted (about 9)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine water and sugar in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Add apricots, and bring to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until apricots are tender.

  • Pour mixture into freezer can of an ice cream freezer, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Spoon into a freezer-safe container; cover and freeze 2 hours or until firm.

Tips:

  • Utilize ripe apricots: For an optimal sorbet texture and flavor, select ripe, juicy apricots. Their natural sweetness will minimize the need for added sugar.
  • Prepare a simple syrup: A basic syrup made with equal parts sugar and water elevates the sorbet's taste and texture. Heating the mixture ensures the sugar dissolves completely, preventing crystallization.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly: Before churning, chill the apricot-syrup mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step enhances the sorbet's freeze-ability and results in a smoother texture.
  • Churn according to your machine's instructions: Different ice cream makers have varying churning times. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Incorporate mix-ins mindfully: If adding optional ingredients like chopped apricots or nuts, do so towards the end of the churning process to maintain an even distribution throughout the sorbet.
  • Freeze for a firmer texture: Once churned, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for a firmer texture.
