Redcurrant Sorbet
Redcurrants provide some vitamin C but less than blackcurrants. Low in calories and sodium. Currants are high in fiber, cholesterol-free and provide a good source of potassium.

Ingredients
Ingredients
500g redcurrants
300g caster sugar
3 tablespoons elderflower cordial
300 ml/half a pint of water
Method
Remove redcurrants from stems, wash and put in a pan with 2 tbsp water. Bring to the boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer for 5 mins until softened. Push through a sieve to make a purée. Stir in the elderflower cordial and set to one side to cool.
Put the caster sugar in a pan with 300ml/½pt water and leave over a low heat for 5 mins until the sugar dissolves. Raise heat and boil for 10 mins.
Tip redcurrant mixture into syrup and mix. Return to the boil, turn down and simmer for 2 mins. Cool, pour into a container and freeze for 3-4 hrs until frozen. Scoop into shot glasses and top with redcurrants
Adults only
Subsitute the elderflower cordial for elderflower wine or vodka
Wifey hates redcurrents. Only one reason - they're a bit of a b*gger to pick. She does seasonal red fruit picking from May to November. Not exactly corporate sales management but hey-ho. Needs must.
ReplyDeleteWe occasionally make Elderflower Wine (is 20 degree proof still wine?) Tastes like bubbly flouncy perfumed lemonade but kicks like a spanish mule! :lol:
Did you really paint that? ;)
Stunning. Like all the others.
Much respect.
