Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet

Another tasty little treat that I made for my ultimate girls weekend with my sisters and my mom is this Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet. I was surprised to see rhubarb in the grocery store late last week. I’m having a hard time adjusting to when produce is in season here in Ohio. It’s surprisingly different than what I’m used to from living in Boston.

So as I was strolling the produce section, the rhubarb caught my eye. A couple of weeks ago I had picked out this recipe to make, but couldn’t find rhubarb anywhere. I just assumed I had missed the season. I guess I was just looking too soon in the summer or something…

Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet

Everyone knows that strawberries and rhubarb play nicely together. It’s no surprise that this sorbet has a tart bite to it from the rhubarb and a sweet finish from the strawberry.

Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet

Yield: 1 1/2 quarts

Ingredients:

3/4 pound rhubarb, trimmed
3/4 cup sugar
10 ounces fresh strawberries
1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions:

Cut the rhubarb into half-inch pieces. In a medium, nonreactive saucepan, bring the rhubarb, two-thirds cup water and the sugar to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the rhubarb is tender and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Slice the strawberries and puree them in a blender or food processor with the cooked rhubarb mixture and lemon juice until smooth.

Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Isn’t it the BEST feeling when your husband says they love something?? Especially when you make things all the time.

    I am a huge fan of blueberry muffins but adding peach might be a new twist on an old favorite. Looks great!

    Wow that looks delish! I actually have some peach jam I need to finish up myself. Is it really tender enough without any butter or oil?
