How to Make a Kiwifruit Sorbet

On warm summer days, cool treats beckon. And what better treat to enjoy on a hot day than the tropical flavor of kiwifruit in a homemade sorbet? Want to make your own kiwifruit sorbet? Here’s how:

Assemble the Ingredients

To make a kiwifruit sorbet, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• ½ cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• ½ cup light corn syrup
• 4 kiwifruits peeled and cut into quarters
• 1/3 cup lime juice
• ½ teaspoon lime zest

Create the Sorbet

In a heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a gentle boil or simmer and stir until the mixture is clear and the sugar is melted (about two minutes.) Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool.

In a food processor, combine the kiwifruit and lime juice. Puree the fruit and juice together.

Pour the pureed fruit into a bowl and add the sugar mixture and lime zest. Stir until all ingredients are smoothly blended.

Pour the completed mixture into a shallow metal pan and place the pan into the freezer. Leave the pan uncovered in the freezer until the sorbet is firm, but not hard.

Remove the pan from the freezer and scoop the sorbet into a chilled bowl. Whip the mixture with an electric mixer until it is light and fluffy.

Then place the bowl back into the freezer for two hours until the sorbet is cold enough to serve.

Serve the sorbet in fun ice cream cups with a bit of lime or kiwifruit for a garnish.
