Best Star Anise Blackberries With Lemon Sorbet Recipes

BLACKBERRY AND LEMON SWIRL SORBET

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring 1 cup sugar and 2 cups water to a boil. Let cool slightly then measure out 2 cups. Combine the 2 cups with the lemon juice and chill.
• Meanwhile in a saucepan, place the blackberries with 1 tablespoon of water and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down to a simmer, stirring often to reduce to a thick puree. Strain, if desired and chill the puree.
• Spin the chilled sorbet mixture in your ice cream maker then place in a frozen bowl. Fold in the chilled blackberry puree lightly to swirl it. Freeze until ready to enjoy.

LEMON SORBET

Steps:

• Add the sugar, 1 cup water and lemon zest to a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups cold water, the lemon juice and limoncello. Place in the fridge until chilled, about 2 hours. Add the cold lemon mixture to an ice cream maker and run as directed by the manufacturer's instructions. You want it to look like soft serve. Remove to a plastic lidded container and place in the freezer until firm, about 3 hours.

SORBET BAR

Steps:

• Set out ice cream cups, sorbet selections, ice cream scoops, coconut. Toss sliced bananas with a little lemon juice to retard browning. Set bananas in a bowl along side dishes of sliced berries and cookies. Just like the salad bar, they can have it their way.

SECTIONED MELON WITH BERRIES AND SORBET

Steps:

MELON, CASSIS AND FRENCH VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH BLACKBERRIES

Steps:

• Cut a sliver off each melon wedge so that it will sit evenly on dessert plate. Pour 2 tablespoons of cassis liqueur or syrup across each melon wedge. Soften ice cream in microwave on high for 10 seconds. Scoop 1 ball of French vanilla ice cream onto each wedge of melon. Garnish dessert with a few blackberries and serve.
