Fig Sorbet image

I love fig ice cream, so I decided to try sorbet, and although I wasn't crazy about the color, I couldn't resist the flavor. Make sure to use fully ripe, sweet figs for this. My favorite way to make this is with red wine.

Time 4h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

125 grams (1/2 cup) water or red wine
75 grams (about 1/3 cup) sugar
1 sprig rose geranium (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon rose water (optional)
33 grams (about 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons) corn syrup
20 grams (1 tablespoon) clover honey
60 grams (1/4 cup) freshly squeezed orange juice
750 grams (1 pound 10 ounces) ripe figs, stems removed

Steps:

  • Combine the water or wine and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Add the rose geranium or rose water, remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain if you steeped the rose geranium sprig.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and purée until smooth. You may have to do this in two batches. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Chill a container in the freezer. Blend the mixture with an immersion blender for 30 seconds, then freeze in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to the chilled container and place in the freezer for 2 hours to pack. Allow to soften in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.
