There are a couple I can't find offhand (peach in particular), but here
is what I could find. Unfortunately, I can't find any that I've already
typed in :-( Some have more icy type textures (watermelon) and some are
more like and Italian Ice (grapefruit, lemon). Many of them can be done
with the classic granita style where you pour everything into a shallow
pan and freeze, stir, freeze, scrape if you don't have an ice cream
maker.
Watermelon Sorbet
8 c (1") cubed watermelon - seeds and rind discarded
1 c simple syrup (1 c sugar to 2 cups water, bring to boil over, reduce
heat and simmer until sugar dissolves and misture is clear. 2 1/2 c)
2 tbsp lemon juice (I've used lime here also)
Puree watermelon in food processor in batches. Measure out 4 c puree and
place in bowl. Add sugar syrup and lemon. Stir to combine. Freeze in
ice cream maker according to manuf. instr.
(Note: I really liked this one - it was very different and made a unique
dessert. It was a bit of work bc I put everything through a seive just
like making applesauce)
Green Apple Granita
2# tart Gravestein or Pippin apples, peeled, cored, & sliced (I used
Granny Smiths)
1/14 c unsweetend apple juice
1 c. sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp Calvados applejack or dark rum
Place apples and juice in heavy saucepan. Cover and cook over moderate
heat until very tender - about 15 minutes. Process apple mixture in food
processor until very smooth. (I skipped this step and went right to to
the sieve). Strain through a fine strainer pushing down on solids to
extract as much puree as possible. Stir in lemon juice and Calvados (if
using). Cool. Freeze in ice cream maker according to manuf. instr.
(Note: I haven't tried this one, but just saw blueberries on sale this
week and pulled this one out)
Blueberry Sorbet
8 c fresh blueberries, rinsed & dried
3/4 c sugar
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
1/2 c water
In a blender, puree blueberries. Transfer to a medium sized pot. Add
sugar, lemon juice and water. Bring to boil, remove from heat. Strain
into a bowl and set asice to cool. Freeze in ice cream maker according
to manuf. instr.
Fresh Strawberry Sorbet
6 c. sliced strawberries
2/3 c sugar or honey to taste
1/4 c lemon juice
1/2 c raspberries
Throw everything together in a blender or food processor and puree.
Freeze according to manuf instr.
Another Strawberry Sorbet (I think this was the one I actually used)
1 c sugar
1 3/4 water
juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
2 pints ripe strawberries, pureed
1/2 fruit juice (apple)
Bring water, sugar, and lemon juice to boil over high heat. Reduce heat
and boil for 1 min. Cool and add strawberry puree and juice. Stir until
well combined. Freeze according to manuf inst.
