Sorbet

Sorbet recipes have been around for centuries, with the earliest known recipe dating back to the 13th century. Sorbet was originally made from a concentrated syrup of fruits or flowers, which was then diluted with water and frozen.

The first sorbet recipes were quite simple, but over time, they became more and more elaborate. In the 18th century, sorbet recipes began to include eggs, cream, and even wine. By the 19th century, sorbets were often served as a dessert, and were often flavoured with exotic fruits and spices.

Today, sorbet recipes come in all sorts of flavours, from the traditional fruit flavours to more adventurous combinations like chocolate and chili. Whatever the flavour, sorbet is a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion.

Advice

Making sorbet can be a fun and easy way to satisfy a sweet tooth. To make the best sorbet, start by gathering the ingredients and equipment you will need. You will need a blender or food processor, a high-powered blender can be helpful to get the smoothest texture. You will also need your choice of fruit, sugar, and a liquid such as water or juice. Start by combining the fruit, sugar, and liquid in the blender or food processor and blend until the mixture is smooth. Next, pour the mixture into a shallow baking pan and freeze for two to three hours. Once frozen, take the sorbet out and enjoy!
