Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 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
- 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.
- Stir occasionally until the rhubarb pieces are soft and break apart easily.
Chilling
- 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
- Once fully chilled, blend the mixture until completely smooth using a high-speed blender or immersion blender.
Straining (Optional)
- Pass through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fibrous pieces for a creamier texture, if desired.
Freezing
- 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
- 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.
