Hi - New to the wonderful world of Thermomix

[APMSAM]

Hi my name is Sara from Adelaide.

I've recently purchased a TM and have been cooking up a storm.... Which is usual for me but now it's just so quick with my TM - I Love it!  For NYE tonight I'm in the process of making a Champagne Sorbet and a Limoncello Sorbet. It is going to be a hot one here in SA and I planned on entertaning outside tonight, so I thought it would be a nice way to cool the guest down.
I look forward to having more of a browse around the forum in 2010. Happy New Years!

Hi and welcome Sara. I'm just over the Nullabor! I received a bottle of Limoncello for Christmas. For the sorbet do you just add it to crushed ice or?? We're up for another few hot days and are having guests so I would like to try it if you could help me please? Thanks.

Hi Everyone and thanks for the warm welcome to your Forum.

I live down South in Onkaparinga Hills. We have 50 acres of land and we have just planned a few acres with fruit and nut trees.  I'm sure next year I will give my TM a workout with all the fresh produce we will have.

LIMONCELLO SORBET
2 cups of Ice Cubes
1/2 cup of sugar
zest of 1 lemon,
120mls frozen lemon juice
120mls Limoncello

Place sugar and zest in TM bowl for 10 seconds on speed 9
Add frozen lemon juice and half the ice cubes. Slowly turn speed dial to 10. Add remaining Ice cubes and Limoncello after 20 seconds and blitz for 1 min. Sorry didn't write down the weights (g) when converting recipe.
Enjoy

I hope you all had a great New Years, we sure did, thanks to the help of my Thermomix (the two sorbets and the lemon curd tarts made in the TM were a hit.)

Woerd - I'm orginally from Canada, where abouts do you come from? I lived in Southern Ontario before moving to Oz.

Happy New Year and Hi Sara,
Welcome, from another newbie.  Your champagne sorbet sounds lovely.
I've been mainly making fruit sorbets.  How exactly do you make the champagne sorbet?  I assume you have to freeze the champagne?  Do you still need ice cubes?
Thanks.
