Pumpkin-Ginger Sorbet image

This autumnal sorbet can be made vegan-friendly by substituting agave syrup for the honey. If you would rather not use canned pumpkin, try roasting honeynut squashes, 40 minutes at 400 degrees, then scraping out the insides, which become a smooth purée under the heat; two squashes will give you enough purée for this recipe.The sorbet is excellent served with slivers of candied ginger on top or with pieces of pumpkin seed brittle. And it's surprisingly amenable to tracings of chilled dark chocolate sauce.

Time 6h20m

Yield 1 quart (6 to 8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup pumpkin or winter squash purée, fresh or canned
3 cups fresh apple cider
2 tablespoons peeled, finely minced ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons dark rum or bourbon (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan mix the pumpkin or squash with 1 cup of the cider until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in the ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pepper and honey. Bring to simmer on low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to a medium-size bowl, stir in the remaining 2 cups cider, add the rum or bourbon if using, and the vanilla. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, until very cold.
  • Churn the mixture in your ice cream maker for about 45 minutes, until it reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes. Transfer to a container and freeze at least 2 hours to firm up. To serve, transfer the sorbet to the refrigerator and allow to soften for about an hour before scooping.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sorbet turned out grainy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This sorbet is a bit icy. I would recommend letting it thaw for a few minutes before serving.

I had some trouble getting the sorbet to freeze solid. I ended up having to freeze it for longer than the recipe called for.

This sorbet is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed this sorbet. The pumpkin flavor was dominant, and the ginger added just a hint of spice.
