INGREDIENTS

250g apricots

100ml water

120g granulated sugar

½ lemon (juice)

For garnish:

Fresh mint, to taste

METHOD

1. Wash the apricots, dry them, remove the pits, and cut into small pieces. Transfer them to a non-stick pan, add the sugar, and pour in the water. Cook over low heat, stirring often. Once the sugar has dissolved and is well blended, add the lemon juice.

2. When the apricots are soft, remove from the heat and transfer the mixture to an immersion blender jar (or a suitable container). Blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Pour the strained cream into a wide, shallow container, stir, and level the surface. Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours, stirring the mixture with a fork every 2 hours to break up the ice crystals. If you have an ice cream maker, follow the instructions in the manual for chilling and churning times.

4. Serve the apricot sorbet in individual cups, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and enjoy.

Storage

For the best texture, we recommend enjoying the apricot sorbet immediately. Alternatively, you can store it in the freezer in a lidded container for up to 2 weeks. In that case, take it out a few minutes before serving and break up the ice crystals with a fork before scooping.
