Grape Sorbet


Its has never been a good idea to buy fruits and vegetables for just the 2 of us at a wholesale clubs like Costco that we go to couple of times a month. With just both of us to eat it never gets over and I hate throwing it to trash. Last week we bought a box of grapes and when I checked today, it was far from over. In fact more than half of it still remained and its just a matter of days when it will find its place in the comfort of trash.

So when I searched the internet for some good grape desserts I came across this Grape Sorbet recipe and wow, what a way to eat grapes!!

There are some changes I made from the original recipe like adding 2 tsp of Honey coz our grape wasn't sweet enough and it needed a little more sweetness. I also did not use grape juice using fresh grape instead.

Ingredients

2 cups red seedless grapes
1  envelope unflavored gelatin
2 tsp honey
1 cup water
1 mint sprig

Preparation

Wash the grapes and get the juice of the grapes using a juicer or a mixie. Add 1 cup water to this juice. You will now have 2 cups of grape juice.  Heat 1 cup of grape juice in a deep bottom pan and add the gelatin, 2 tsp honey and stir until the gelatin, honey mixes well. Remove from heat and mix with the 1 cup of cold juice.

Pour the juice into a container and freeze. When the mixture is firm, remove from freezer, break into pieces and place in a food processor; process several seconds or until fluffy but not thawed. Return to freezer, and freeze until firm.

Scoop sorbet into individual dessert dishes using an ice cream scoop. Decorate with Mint Sprig.
