A Photo With A Story
Day 7 and the challenge is all about Family & Sunshine “Sunday is the day for family, friends and loving! Show us through a photo why you love Zespri Kiwi Fruit”, well I did not feel like visiting family or entertaining, but I did play around with a recipe and much later enjoyed my Kiwi creation-Kiwi Sorbet.
Kiwi Sorbet
125ml sugar
200ml water
5-6 kiwis (should get you 375 ml puree)
50ml finely chopped mint
10ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
2ml lemon zest
few slices of kiwi + few sprigs of mint (for garnish)
Method
- Mix water and sugar in a pot and and bring to a boil on medium heat and allow to cook over low heat for about 5minutes-ensuring to stir occasionally
- Remove from heat and place in the refridgerator to cool for 20-25minutes-while you prepare the kiwi mixture
- A blender works perfect for this process–place the peeled and chopped kiwis into the blender jug, add the chopped mint, freshly squeezed lemon juice and the lemon zest
- Blend the mixture throughly in the blender, before adding the cooled sugar syrup and and blending once more – the consistency of this mixture should be like that of a thick fruit puree
- If you find it to thin-puree more fruit and add to the mixture
- Pour into a flat bowl that has a cover so that it can be covered and stored in the same container for use later and chill in the freezer–after about every hour, remove from freezer and using a fork mix it throughly and return to the freezer – repeat this process 4–5 times
- I am sure if you are using an ice cream machine the process will be much simpler and quicker-i unfortunately do not have an ice cream machine
- Remove from freezer and garnish with a few slices of kiwi and sprigs of mint before serving and enjoying
