carrot sorbet

[bluesed]

800g carrots
1.5 L water
2 gelatin leaves soaked in cold water
200-250g sugar
juice and zest of 1 orange and 1 lime or lemon

I dont really make make this sorbet in the tmx but im sure you can figure out to put the times and speeds on by yourself.

chop carrots in the tmx
add water and boil for about 10-15 minutes
add sugar,lemon+orange zest and juice
add  gelatin
cook for about 2-3 min
blitz for 10 sec
strain through a sieve and let it chill

if you have ice cream machine use that if not freeze it for at least 5-6 hours
and then chop it into large chunks and run it through the tmx at speed 10 and freeze again.

Got a heck of a lot of carrots to get through Uni . . .
If it works - well and good!  If it doesn't . . at least I tried . . . . . .

true, i forgot about all the your carrots u have

do u think it will taste nice 

make a sofrito with carrots, celery , garlic and onion and freeze, a great base for soups,sauces,and risotto

have you seen my lastest freezing tip http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1646.0

That's a great idea, Uni.  Thanks.  Do you mean the tip about using the chopstick?  Have done that with some mince - worked beautifully!  Thank you!     Do you mean to do the same with the sofrito?

Can you give me an idea of proportions for the sofrito?  Or it is just what you have and the way you like it . . .??

Also found this for a sorbet . . . http://www.superkitchenmachine.com/2010/9659/redzepi-noma-carrot-sorbet-thermomix-recipe.html

umo integral de zanahoria (Whole carrot juice) - about this recipe

This recipe for carrot juice needs to be made in a Thermomix. It uses the whole carrots whereas if made in a juicer the pulp will be wasted.
This is a translation of a recipe in Thermomix TM31 Imprescindible para tu cocina, which is the book you receive when buying a Thermomix in Spain.

Ingredients
350g carrots, peeled
1 lemon, peeled, pith and seeds removed
100g sugar (see Chef's notes below)
500g water (approx)
6 or 8 ice cubes

Method
Chop the carrots 5 seconds / Speed 5.

Add the lemon, sugar, water and ice cubes and set for 3 minutes / Speed 10.

If it is not smooth enough for you, repeat the operation for a little longer.

Add the basket to the bowl to strain it, hold it down with the spatula and pour into a jug filled with ice.
If it is well blended, there is no need to strain it.

Chef's notes
The sugar content is high and can be cut down. I found the juice to be very sweet and feel that 60g is sufficient. However, I did not pour mine over a jug of ice, which would have made it less sweet.
You might need ear plugs when processing at Speed 10!

yes do the same with the sofrito

10 carrots
4 sticks of celery
3 onion
and lots of garlic

for best results individually fry carrots 1st then add celery cook until soft then add onions and garlic  fry until onions are soft.
for a risotto i would use about 3tbl of this mix 


i have made it b4 in the  much nicer on the stove top
