Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet

"Yesterday was the perfect day to try.  It was super hot and humid and I had just walked all over the mall with the two kids.  We are doing a family photo this weekend and they needed matching shirts for that.  I was super hot when I got home, so I popped this in the machine real quick.  I must admit, my older daughter was not a fan. Not sure why since my younger daughter and I loved it!  I threw a few carob chips on top for some crunch.  This recipe couldn’t be easier.  If you don’t have an ice cream machine, you can pour the mixture into popsicle moulds"

Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet

2-3 large stalks of rhubarb
1 16oz package of strawberries
1/4 cup coconut sugar
Juice of 1/2 an orange
1 cup water

In a sauce pan, add the rhubarb, orange juice, water and coconut sugar.  Bring to a boil. Then turn down and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has turned to a mush. Mine took about 10 minutes. Once it is mushy, turn it off the heat and let it get back to room temp. Once at room temp, place the mixture in a container in the fridge for a few hours. Once cooled in the fridge, pour the mixture into a blender with the strawberries. Blend until smooth. Take a taste test. Mine came out a bit tart. I liked that, but if you prefer a more sweetened sorbet, you can add a few tablespoons of maple syrup or honey and blend for another 30 seconds. Pour the mixture into the ice cream machine. Mine took about 15 minutes to get to a soft serve consistency. If you like a harder sorbet, you can put it in the fridge for an hour before eating. My batch made about 4-5 servings. Enjoy!

Get creative and change the fruit if you like - peaches, blueberries, plums, citrus... oh the list goes on!!
