Recipe for Rhubarb Sorbet
I used a recipe I saw on Simply Recipes. It was really easy. The only not so fun part was straining the rhubarb. It just took some time, but really nothing to complain about. I chilled the base overnight and churned it up the next day in our Cuisinart dream machine.
The results were incredible! The sorbet was SO creamy. It tasted more like gelato than sorbet, but without any cream! I was hoping for a deeper red color, but oh well, I am partial to pink anyways. The rhubarb flavor was perfect too, not too sweet, just right! I loved the kick from the orange zest too!
This is one of my new favorite treats. It's very light, refreshing, and perfect for a hot day! I am sure it would be a hit at a Memorial Day BBQ, so try it and impress your friends and family. Happy Holiday weekend everyone! I LOVE long weekends!
Recipe from Garrett McCord of Vanilla Garlic
Saw on Simply Recipes
(Printable Recipe)
3 1/2 cups of chopped fresh rhubarb (4-5 stalks)
2 1/2 cups of water
1 2/3 cups of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of orange zest
2 tablespoons of corn syrup
Place chopped rhubarb, sugar, water, salt, and orange zest in a large saucepan. Stir it all up. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover it and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. The rhubarb will get tender and start to dissolve if you stir it. It will smell good too:)
Cool the rhubarb mixture for about 10 minutes. Purée in a blender or food processor until smooth. You will need to do this in a couple of batches. It will get a little messy, but that is fun, right? Press through a fine mesh strainer to get rid of the pulp. Stir in the corn syrup. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. I let mine chill overnight.
Process in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. The sorbet will be soft and creamy! Put in a container and freeze.
Makes about one quart.

Maria it looks perfect. I love all the Rhubarb items this week. Have a nice four dayer.
Looks so good, I don't have a ice cream maker, maybe that needs to be my next kitchen tool, hmmm . . . .
I love the color! I'm just imagining serving little pink sundaes for a bridal or baby shower - wouldn't that be so cute!

I am a huge fan of gelato. I need to get cracking on making ice cream!
WOW, now THAT'S an ice cream maker!

Aside from sounding really delish, it is such a pretty color! Sounds refreshing! I would make a sorbet spritzer with it! A scoop of sorbet in a glass and pour over some sparkling water, or sparkling wine. Yum!
This looks so good! I am definitely not tired of your rhubarb posts - keep 'em coming! Have a great long weekend!
This is a great recipe and it looks so creamy. How can you beat a good sorbet? Great use of rhubarb once again!
Do not lay off on the rhubarb! My husband is the biggest fan of rhubarb and I can already tell this recipe is going to make him one very happy man. Thanks for sharing...
all your rhubarb has me thinking about some candy I brought back from Harrod's in London--they are a hard candy with gooey-ness inside, flavored "Rhubarb Custard" and are surprisingly delicious! I say long live Rhubarb!! (this is littletweet, BTW).
Thanks everyone! There are so many fun rhubarb recipes out there. I really liked this one though! Such great treat for summer!

not only have i never seen a rhubarb concoction, but i never even imagined that one could exist! bravo, maria--this is delightful!
Looks delicious. We don't really get rhubarb out here. I do see it occasionally in the store fresh and sometimes frozen. I would love to bake with it.
This looks so pretty and I'm sure it was delicious!
Rhubarb power! This looks cool and delicious, perfect for a hot day!
I must get some rhubarb at the farmer's market tomorrow for sure. Seriously, your photo of it in a dish with the black and white underneath is just about the most amazing food photo I've seen. Love it!
Oh, hey, is it really only 1/2 cup rhubard, or did another amount (because is says 1/2 cups) get deleted? Might be a typo.
I love my Cuisinart ice cream maker. My favorite kitchen tool. :) What a unique recipe. It sounds wonderful!
Your rhubarb kick is sending a clear message that I really need to try the stuff. I'm totally missing out, it seems. This sorbet looks AMAZING. And I bet it even tastes better than it looks. Adding rhubarb to my grocery list now!

I have never tasted rhubarb..I know, crazy huh?
This sounds delicious ... I love rhubarb!
I could never get tired of rhubarb recipes! I love making sorbet, can't wait to try this one.
I'm getting pretty envious of your rhubarb posts Maria, & this one is no exception! The sorbet is gorgeous, & wonderful to see another shade of pink. It's beautiful!!
I planted rhubarb in our garden ...if it turns out I will have to make some of this!
That looks gorgeous! I can practically taste it in my mind.
I love all of your rhubarb posts, and I love that pink color! I really need to plant rhubarb next year...
That looks just fabulous! Now I am wishing I had some rhubarb.

My mom would love this. I will so make it for her when she comes out next.

I wish I have an ice-cream maker now!

What a pretty color! Don't worry, I'm not going to be sick of your posts, silly :)
That's such a great idea to make rhubarb sorbet. Love that color.
Made this one too thanks to Garrett's wonderful post! I think you mean 3 1/2 cups of rhubarb though for 3-5 stalks and not 1/2 cup.
Tartelette-Thanks so much for catching my typo! Yes, it is 3 1/2 cups of rhubarb!
You can't get enough rhubarb!! I wish I had it growing at my house!
This looks scrumptious. Going out to pick rhubarb - now!
I love the pale pink of this sorbet. I bet it tasted amazing!

Nicely done!
