Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 cups chopped rhubarb Use tender stalks for the best flavor.
  • ¾ cup water Helps to soften the rhubarb while cooking.
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar Can be adjusted to taste.
  • ½ cup lemon juice Freshly squeezed adds a fresh zing; bottled juice can be used in a pinch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Clean the rhubarb, remove any leafy pieces from the top, and chop off about an inch from the lower stem. Chop the rhubarb into ½” chunks.
Cooking
  1. Add the rhubarb, water, sugar, and lemon juice to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the rhubarb is tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Stir occasionally until the rhubarb pieces are soft and break apart easily.
Chilling
  1. Transfer the mixture to a sealed container and refrigerate overnight, or place the rhubarb bowl into a bowl of ice water and stir to cool quickly.
Blending
  1. Once fully chilled, blend the mixture until completely smooth using a high-speed blender or immersion blender.
Straining (Optional)
  1. Pass through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fibrous pieces for a creamier texture, if desired.
Freezing
  1. Add the blended mixture to a metal loaf pan or cake pan, cover with plastic wrap and then foil, and freeze for at least 8 hours (overnight is best).
Serving
  1. Once set, scoop and serve your delightful rhubarb sorbet to family and friends.

Notes

Serve in chilled bowls or cups and garnish with fresh mint or a sprinkle of zest. Store in an airtight container in the freezer and consume within two weeks for optimal flavor.
