Kiwi Lime Sorbet Recipe

Kiwi Lime Sorbet

Homemakers Best Tested

The most difficult part of this recipe is getting the kiwis all to the right stage - ripe, but not mushy. As kiwi is the key ingredient here, be sure to buy good quality ones, such as the Zespri brand from New Zealand. Nobody grows them quite like the Kiwis.

Ingredients

1/2 cup  (125 mL)  granulated sugar
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  water
1 tsp  (5 mL)  finely grated lime peel
6 ripe kiwis

Preparation

Stir sugar, water and lime peel together in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat, transfer to container, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.

Peel kiwis and quarter. Process in food processor with pulse motion until almost smooth. Don't overprocess or kiwis will become bitter. Strain sugar syrup mixture to remove lime peel. Stir syrup into kiwi purée until smooth. If using an ice cream machine, follow manufacturer's instructions.

Options: Freeze the mixture in an ice cube tray, until almost firm, about 2-1/2 hours. Spoon the mixture into a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Or, transfer to a bowl and beat with an electric mixture until smooth and creamy. Pour into an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

To serve: transfer sorbet to refrigerator 15 to 30 minutes before serving to make scooping easier. Sorbet should not be served rock hard. Use within 2 to 3 days.
