378. It's summer and what better use of fresh apricots than to make a refreshing sorbet. I found a recipe that was simple with a small amount of ingredients. It was delicious and so satisfying.
With a bowl filled with apricots that ripened overnight, I selected the softest ones. I cut them in half, pitted them and placed them in a 4 quart pot with a bit of water. Brought to a boil and then simmered them until they became a smooth mixture. In order to remove the skins, I pressed the mixture through a sieve. It separated the skin and fibers from the beautiful pulp once the apricot mixture became soft.
This helped the texture to be consistent and smooth. Then, added honey and vanilla and tasted for sweetness, placed the mixture into a freezer safe container and placed in the freezer. It took about 5 hours to harden the sorbet.
The small amount following a delicious meal was so perfect, a pallet cleanser. It was sweet, tart and the apricot flavor was so authentic and beautiful with a small shot of espresso.
