Strawberry-mint sorbet


Strawberry-mint sorbet
For this strawberry and mint-flavoured sorbet, we will be using an unusual method: blending the strawberries with mint leaves.

This mixture is then left overnight for the flavours to mingle before being strained and then churned.

This makes a delicious sorbet with its full-on strawberry flavour boosted by a definite mintiness.

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
