EARL GREY SORBET
Makes ten 1/2-cup (125 ml) servings
4-1/4 cups (1.1 L) water
2 cups (500 ml) granulated sugar
12 Earl Grey tea bags
1/3 cup (80 ml) fresh lemon juice
Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to simmer and let cook until sugar is dissolved – do not
stir. Add tea bags and let steep for 15 minutes. Remove, squeeze and
discard tea bags. Allow liquid to come to room temperature; stir in
lemon juice. Chill for 6 hours or longer.
Pour tea mixture into mixing bowl of Cuisinart ® Supreme ™ Commercial
Quality Ice Cream Maker. Attach paddle to lid. Place lid and motor arm
on unit. Set timer for 35-45 minutes for “soft” sorbet or 45-60 minutes
for “hard” sorbet and let mix until thickened. When sorbet is thickened,
serve as a soft “Italian” ice, or place in a resealable container and freeze
for 2 hours or longer. If frozen longer than 2 hours, allow to sit at room
temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
Earl Grey Sorbet is very good as a summer treat with fresh berries or
sliced fresh peaches.

APRICOT SHERBET
Makes ten 1/2-cup (125 ml) servings
2/3 cup (160 ml) granulated sugar
2/3 cup (160 ml) water
2 cans [15-16 oz. (454 g) each] apricot halves in heavy syrup
2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
1-1/4 cups (300 ml) fat free half-&-half
1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract (may use half vanilla and
half almond extract)
Combine the sugar and water in a Cuisinart ® medium saucepan and bring
to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer without
stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 3 – 5 minutes. Cool completely.
[You will have about 3/4 cup (180 ml) simple syrup.]
Drain apricots, reserving 2/3 cup (160 ml) of the heavy syrup [you will
have about 2 cups (500 ml) poached apricot halves]. Place apricots and
the reserved heavy syrup in the blender or food processor and process
until completely smooth and puréed. Stir in the lemon juice, chilled
simple syrup, half-&-half, and vanilla extract.
Pour the apricot mixture into mixing bowl of Cuisinart ® Supreme ™
Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker. Place mixing paddle in lid and
place lid and motor arm on unit. Set timer for 35-45 minutes for “soft”
sherbet or 45-60 minutes for “hard” sherbet and let mix until thickened.
If desired, transfer the frozen sherbet to an airtight container and place in
freezer until firm, about 2 hours, to “ripen.” Remove from freezer
10 minutes before serving.
