I'm staking a claim that my favorite dessert is any form of frozen treat - sorbet, sherbet, ice cream sandwich... There's nothing better than an ice cold sweet treat on a hot summer day. I think America's with me on this upcoming holiday weekend. It's summer, it's hot, and everyone should be eating frozen treats!So, for this post I've made a somewhat unexpected strawberry sorbet. I've added balsamic vinegar to the mix. It adds a nice tang and pairs so well with the strawberries and dark chocolate. It's official, we've reached the tipping point of summer and the 90 degree days are upon us. Make this creamy sorbet to cool down. Here's how...
Ingredients - Serves 81 C Granulated Sugar
1/2 C Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 C Water
6 C Strawberries, hauled & sliced
1 Lemon, peel & juice
4-5 oz. Dark Chocolate Chunks
Directions
Combine the sugar, balsamic, water, and 3 wide strips of lemon peel in a sauce pan. Bring to a bubble and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and rest for 20 minutes.
Remove the lemon peel from the simple syrup, discard. Combine half the syrup, strawberries, and lemon juice in a blender. Process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Process the remaining syrup, strawberries, and lemon juice. Add to the bowl.
Pour the mixture into the freezer can of an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your machine to make the sorbet. Put the sorbet into a freezer safe bowl, stir in the chocolate chunks, and freeze for 4 hours or overnight.Remove from the freezer 15 minutes prior to serving. Scoop the sorbet into bowls and serve immediately. Cool off with this unexpected frozen sweet treat. Enjoy!
