I've just made this year's first batch of Rose Petal Sorbet, so I thought I'd share the recipe with you.
The most important thing is to have scented roses, the one I use for this recipe is Etoile de Hollande, a dark red rose which produces a delicate pink sorbet.
½pint stock syrup (Combine ½pt of water with ½lb of sugar. Heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar then boil for 5 minutes.
¼pt white or rosé wine
Juice of 1 lemon
4 - 5 large fragrant roses
1 egg white
Method:
1. Separate rose petals from the stamens, then pinch out the white edge from bottom of each petal (it has a bitter taste).
2. Liquidise the petals with the wine and lemon juice for a good few minutes to ensure you only have tiny pieces of petals.
3. Add to cooled stock sugar syrup.
4. Chill in refrigerator for at least an hour.
5. Beat egg white until stiff and fold into mixture.
6. Pour mixture into an ice-making machine and churn according to manufacture’s instructions. OR
7. Freeze in shallow plastic container, turning the frozen sides to the middle a couple of times during the freezing process.
Enjoy!!!
