Rhubarb Sorbet

Now that we've joined a CSA, and are getting a weekly supply of fresh fruit and veggies, I'm going to start getting more creative with our generous supplies. This week we received a HUGE amount of Rhubarb. We have some delicious Strawberry Rhubarb deserts already down, but this week I tried a new one. Who would have thought we'd be eating veggie sorbet?

Ingredients:

  • 5 Cups sliced rhubarb
  • 1 Quart water
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
  • In large heavy pot, combine water and rhubarb. Boil for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and strain mixture in a sieve into a bowl, pressing rhubarb to remove all liquid. Discard rhubarb.
  • Add sugars and lemon juice to rhubarb liquid and mix until sugars dissolve.
  • Chill mix in refrigerator until cool.
  • Pour cooled mixture into an ice cream freezer, and prepare according to manufacturer's instruction.
  • Spoon sorbet into a freezer safe container for storage.
