Tomato Sorbet

 

Recipe By :Bev Bennett

Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : 13_occasions

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup peeled seeded chopped tomato -- (2 medium)

1 tablespoon minced fresh dill

1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar syrup -- see tip

Dill sprigs for garnish

 

1. In blender or food processor, combine tomato pieces, dill, tomato paste,

lemon juice, lemon rind, and sugar syrup. Process to a pulp. Mixture may be

chunky rather than smooth, but that's fine.

 

2. Either pour into an ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's

directions, or pour into an ice cube tray and freeze until slushy, stirring

occasionally to break up ice chunks (about 2 hours).

 

3. Spoon sorbet into 2 saucer champagne cups and garnish with dill sprigs. Serve

immediately.

 

TIP - To make sugar syrup combine 2 tablespoons water with 2 tablespoons sugar

in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook until sugar

dissolves. Cool.
