Tart Cranberry Sorbet

This sweet-tart sorbet is a refreshing ending to a hearty fall meal, with bright, fresh cranberry flavor. Serve with homemade vanilla wafers — the crisp texture and buttery flavor will complement the sorbet perfectly.

 

Tart Cranberry Sorbet

 

2 cups (8 oz./250 g.) cranberries

1/2 cup (4 fl. oz./125 ml.) cranberry juice

1 1/2 cups (10 1/2 oz./330 g.) superfine sugar

 

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, heat the cranberries and cranberry juice, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop, 5-7 minutes. Stir in the sugar until it has dissolved. Let cool, cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.

 

Pour the cranberry mixture into an ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Serve right away. Serves 4.
