Syrup Mixture for Sorbet Recipes
There are many sorbets which require a syrup mixture.
Sometimes the amount and ratio of sugar and water will vary depending upon the recipe but this is the basic guideline:
Step 1
In a saucepan mix together 4oz (100g) sugar and 1/2 pint (250ml) water (and any fruit zest or fruit juice
if the recipe includes it).
Step 2
Gently heat the mixture making sure you stir it continuously until
the sugar has fully dissolved.
Step 3
Bring to mixture to the boil then boil it gently for about 5 minutes until you have a syrup. Leave to cool then refrigerate.
The most popular type of sorbet is fruit based and I have a number of recipes for you to try which you will find here. This type of frozen dessert is surprisingly good and can be served both at informal and formal meals.
