Title: Lemon or Orange Sorbet?
Post by: past94x on January 22, 2016, 12:35:55 pm

I've just made some lovely sorbet from a bag of last years strawberries I had kicking around in the freezer. It's delicious.

However, I'd love to make orange or lemon sorbet, to serve between courses at my posher dinner parties (which I very rarely have) but was wondering if this is possible. I always think this is a nice touch after a fishy starter or the like and before the main course. It might earn me brownie points, too, if I'm lucky and because I just love sorbet.
Can anyone offer any advice? Presume you freeze the fruit as normal, but what then???? What about the pips??

Got a demo organised for next week of the TM5, with four close friends who all love cooking. So looking forward to it.
I feel a bit of a traitor even talking about it, because my beloved TM31 has been so wonderful over the past three years. I wish I could tell it how much I loved it!

I would carry on using with the sorbet recipe that you used for the strawberry sorbet seeing it worked well.I would just use the flesh of either the lemons or oranges.
Fast and Easy Cooking page 198 has a Fresh Friut Sorbet recipe.

Thanks so much, but sadly I don't have an ice cream maker.
Has anyone made orange or lemon sorbet using the frozen fruit/ice cube method in the Fast and Easy Cookbook? This was the recipe I used to make my strawberry dish, Maybe I should just freeze the lemon or orange flesh and then use it with the zested peel and sugar mix.
I'll give it a go sometime. Thanks for trying to help.

Are you going to keep your TM 31 past94x? I have both and love it. I use them both regularly, sometimes several times a day.

Not sure yet. I've been thinking about that.
I have a wonderful brother who loves cooking and is going through a bit of a tough time at the moment, so maybe I'll give the TM31 to him.
Not sure yet.
Ideally, I'd like a huge kitchen and several Tms, I love them so much.
