With an ice cream maker, making ice cream or sorbet is a snap!
Blueberries were on sale so I bought 3 pints and ran them through our food processor with 3/4 cup of sugar and about two tablespoons of lime juice. After cooling this concoction in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, I ran it through my NEW ice cream maker attachment for my KitchenAid mixer.
And then about 20 minutes later you can see that the the blueberry mixture is coming together with the icy crystals. It has turned from a liquidy mass to a solid piece of sorbet.
It was pretty good. Pretty pretty good. Because it was fruit, it obviously was very refreshing. However I am not too keen on the mouth feel of it and when it melts it looks like jam. Perhaps this is the fault of the berries or the user (me). It was a good first try though and I think my next ice creamy exploration will actually be ice cream (basil!?).
