INGRÉDIENTS- 1 liter (4 cups) sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb
- 2 cups halved fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp of water
PRÉPARATION- In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Simmer gently for 6 to 8 minutes or until fruit is tender.
- In a blender, puree fruit until smooth. Strain through a sieve if desired. Let cool.
- Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
- Churn sorbet in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Freeze.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze the rhubarb and strawberry mixture in a Pyrex dish lined with plastic wrap.
- Remove from the mold and remove the plastic wrap. Cut into cubes and puree in a food processor.
- Return to the freezer immediately. However, the texture of the sorbet will be less fine.
